Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Hi Everyone , Please read this to the end(especially end) , it will save you from a trap [SHIVANI MADAN] also will save you a minimum of 1 month time . So HR at Zeiss reached out to me for Business Analyst role , and interview was scheduled , gave 1 round cleared with positive feedback , gave 2nd round cleared with positive feedback , third round was suppose to be general discussion in office location [40km from home] , so went to office 3 people again took technical round ( overall 5 people have taken interview till this point ) . I was being told we like you and will provide letter of intent after some time , guess what in the same evening HR called me saying they want to take another round that too with multiple people , I dont know why I say yes to gave this round , they gave me a case study which is almost a day work to generate reports and understand the huge data and what not .. I have made multiple reports and it went well as there were no cross question and i did whatever has been asked. From that on guess what HR ghosted me , after few days another HR told me I was rejected with no reason provided. Oh yes why I said trap was because this was a position under SHIVANI MADAN team and from internal sources i got to know the reason that this happened is because she as a manager wanted her distant relevant to get this role instead of anyone else.Funny but true.

I appeared for an interview before May 2016.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: written test
Experience: it was elitmus test conducted by the company itself on campus. As per my knowledge only those scoring 90 percentile got selected for round 2.
Tips: Attempt only those ques that are necessary for scoring 90+ in e litmus. Specially in verbal don't attempt more then required questions, though you might be tempted. The aim is not to score max bt to score 90+

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: This was a programming based round. I was asked to write algorithms for various array linked list based problems. There was cross questioning prompting to reduce complexity and to use different data structures for same problems.

Mostly it focused on subjects like c, data structures and ADA.
Tips: Be clear with basic of data structures and algorithms. Pointers, queue, stacks, array linked lists, sorting etc are the keywords.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: This was a information security specific round since that was my major. In depth cross questioning on my thesis topics, honeypots, network intrusion etc. Security certificates, and on the go problems to provide security solution layer wise in different scenarios. Security concept of torrents was also asked in detail.
Tips: It was more of a security discussion and throwing of ideas about how things in a particular case could work or could not. Don't worry about right or wrong answer just be clear with your reasoning about the solution you are suggesting.

Round: Other Interview
Experience: I don't know what to name this round, but it focused mainly on developing test cases for an object. Say they gave me a stapler and said to develop a test plan listing down test cases for a given object to pass so that it can be confirmed that it is a stapler. Another scenario was with a lift.
Tips: This is one round where your presence of mind and inter personal skills matter. I think the way you present your thoughts was most important here.

Round: Behavioural Interview
Experience: This was was mostly about how would you react in a given professional situation
Like your assigned work could not be completed on time, or if you are doing something wrong with the work assigned.
Tips: This is all about inter personal skills and putting your best foot forward :)
