Recruitment Stories - Sihab's Experience at All Generation Tech (AGT)

Sihab Sahariar worked as a Software Engineer at All Generation Tech (AGT) and is currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science at BRAC University. Throughout his university years, he actively participated in robotics, hackathons, and competitive programming.

Previously, Sihab worked at acciGone as a GUI Developer before joining Lynkeus AI as a Software Engineer, where he spent nearly two years contributing to an AI-based surveillance system.

He came across the role at AGT through a Facebook post and submitted his application via their job portal. He then progressed through the following recruitment stages before accepting the job offer:

Phase 1

The first round was a non-technical interview with the CEO. This session focused on Sihab’s previous experience, his roles, and responsibilities, while also evaluating his English communication skills.

Phase 2

The second round was a technical coding assessment where Sihab was tasked with solving two problems using Golang. He was provided with a Golang documentation template for guidance. He had 45 minutes to complete the tasks, which included one LeetCode-like Easy problem and one Medium problem. Following this, he answered three brain-teaser questions, with 5 minutes allotted for each.

Phase 3

The third round was another technical session where Sihab was tasked with solving a LeetCode Medium-level problem in a programming language of his choice. He selected Python and successfully provided a solution. He was then given a follow-up question to optimize his solution to a time complexity of O(n). The session concluded with questions about DBMS and APIs.

Phase 4

The fourth and final round was with the COO, focusing on discussions about company culture and salary negotiations.
