Interview Tips & Stories

Why are women still asked such personal questions in interview?
I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened. Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like When are you getting married? Are you engaged? And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married? What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for? This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women? Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status. Period.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: First round was a simple round which involved 10 multiple choice questions and 3 coding questions on hackerrank platform.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Mainly on topics like networks, data structures and algorithms, operating systems. The interviewers looked for people who have had prior experience in web development and asked questions regarding web development in depth too.
Tips: I recommend everyone to read the book titled, 'Cracking the Coding Interview' as it was helpful in my approach to an interview.

General Tips: The one major thing that would give you the edge in joining Myntra would definitely be exposure to web development. Since it is not a part of the curriculum , it's all the more important for you to familiarize yourself with web development. In fact, a few projects in the same field would put you in a very advantageous position to get the job.
Skill Tips: 1. Start your placement preparations well ahead, no point regretting later.
2. Keep a concise resume. Do not take your resume to several pages.
3. Do not neglect aptitude preparation. Many people do this mistake and end up not clearing the first round for several companies.
4. Be thorough with your basics across all subjects. (Do not neglect any subject, even they you may like a few and dislike the others.)
5. Keep in mind, the interviewers are really friendly and try to make sure that you're not nervous during the interview. All they want to do is to test you. Be confident and give it your best shot.

Interview Preparation Tips

Topics to prepare for Myntra Software Engineer interview:
  • Data Structures
  • Algorithms
  • CS Fundamentals
  • Computer Networking
  • Databases
  • Linux
  • OOPS
Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Just practice problem solving, refer to GeeksForGeeks for company specific problems.

Read up about the company history and the innovations they've done. Be on top of their activities and motives and catchphrases etc

The interviewers will be helpful during the PS phase so always speak out your approach. Always start with the basic approach and then go further to optimize it (don't jump directly at the optimized approach, unless it's a really straightforward or well-known problem).

Only put projects and experience on the resume you are actually knowledgeable about, don't waffle or bluff your achievements as you will get questions asked based on that.

And lastly be prepared for your typical HR questions (this is particularly where your knowledge of the company and it's history will help).

That's pretty much it, best of luck.
