"Software Development Managers manage teams of engineers and work closely with product managers in order to oversee the development of a software product from start to completion. Employers are looking for strong leaders with solid communication skills and in depth knowledge of the software development process. In an interview, be ready to field technical questions as well as discuss how you would prioritize projects. A bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field and several years experience in software development is expected."
Second Round Questions (3-4 year Exp Software Engineer took the interview for SDM position(for a Guy with 12 years Exp).This guy had lot attitude I felt and basically was not even listening the answer. I believe for higher management position they should sincerely not allow this kind of LEADERS to take the interview) Given Single LinkedList with Next and Random pointer. Write a function to duplicate this.Overall this interview lasted for 45 minutes
How do you motivate employees that are under-performing?
I was asked, snottily, how the startup I had been working for made money.
I was asked to describe a time where I had a different idea than what my team did.
A graph related question which i didn't understand very well, but was related to converting one string to another in the shortest possible steps by using a dictionary of available strings to be used as a intermediate steps. This conversion can only be done by replacing one character at a time.
Write an algorithm to check in in an integer array, the array can be sorted by just one exchange of elements
First Round: - How would you achieve authorization in an application? i.e.. providing different roles / access levels / permissions to different users? - How would you ensure your application is scalable? - Is each request to Apache Web Server treated as thread or process? - One sample application use case to design / solve. For me he gave a stock prices of an specific stock at different time intervals and asked me for an algorithm / program to calculate what could have been the best period to buy and sell to get maximum profit (first buy and then sell only). When I gave a solution with 2 for loops, asked me to optimize it to avoid additional looping. - Finally, gave me a puzzle to solve. Second Round: - Asked me to write architecture for my last application and asked me if I'm having high response times for the requests in production (can't be reproduced on STG), how would I go about to investigate / resolve them. - How did you achieve caching in the application? What data did you cache? - How would you implement an in-memory cache if you were to design it? What kind of a structure would you use? How do you think Ehcache has done it? - Designing an application with use case for DB archiving & retrieval to test design skills? - Real world use case to solve: railway use case to calculate stops / platforms needed at peak. 3rd Round (Managerial): - Tell me about yourself. - Share me your role & day-to-day job. - If you'd want to intract with two applications deployed in different infrastructures, what would you use? - Which of the Web Services would you use SOAP or REST? Why REST? What standards does it have? Won't it have problems due to absence of standards? - You said you develop some core components early on. What is the reason for it rather than assigning it to an experienced lead. - What considerations will you make while designing an application for performance. - When an application server crashes, what are the possible reasons? Explain in technical terms. - Asked me to come up with estimate giving some requirements.
