Shakib applied for the Junior Software Engineer position at DSi through their official job portal. He successfully navigated through the following recruitment phases before securing the job offer:

Phase 1

The first phase consisted of a written exam covering topics such as:

The written exam included three problems to solve, requiring a strong grasp of theoretical concepts and practical problem-solving skills.

Phase 2

In the second phase, the interviewers focused on Shakib’s problem-solving approaches, optimization techniques, and behavioral traits.

• Shakib was tasked with solving four problems of medium difficulty on pen and paper.
• The interviewers assessed his understanding of OOP, DBMS, and the SOLID principles.
• The questions in this round were customized based on his resume, ensuring alignment with his background and skills.

Phase 3

The final interview was conducted by DSi’s higher management. This phase combined technical and behavioral assessments.

• Shakib was given two technical problems: one related to trees and another involving basic math.
• He was also asked to write an SQL query and explain the resulting output.
• The interviewer explored Shakib’s career aspirations by asking questions like, “Where do you see yourself in five years?”
