Experience:

This off-campus interview experience for a Software Engineer role at Siemens took place around June 2024 and consisted of a single online round lasting 90 minutes. The interviewer began by asking the candidate to introduce themselves and discuss their projects.

Technical questions covered a wide range of topics. These included Generics and Declaration Examples, methods to improve MVC performance, whether a CTE can have two same SELECT queries at the end, how to secure WebAPI, and an explanation of Filters in MVC. The interviewer also asked to differentiate between 'var' and 'dynamic' and about the types of dependency injectors.

Further questions delved into Indexing in HTML, explaining Indexer in SQL, Conventional API, how to remove the third record in a table, why a static constructor has only one instance, and Partial classes. The candidate was ultimately rejected in this round.
