Experience:

This experience details the interview process for a Graduate Software Engineer role at Commonwealth Bank (CBA), which was conducted offline.

Round 1: Online Assessment (OA)
The first round was an online assessment conducted in labs. It consisted entirely of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) covering technical subjects like Object-Oriented Programming (OOPS), Database Management Systems (DBMS), and Computer Networks (CN), along with aptitude questions. There were no direct coding questions in this round. Results were typically provided within a week.

Round 2: Technical Interview
This was a one-on-one interview. For this candidate, the interviewer focused heavily on their projects listed on the resume, including internships. Questions delved into the project's idea, its real-life application, database schema, and backend/frontend implementation. Additionally, some general technical questions were asked, such as the differences between Java and C++. While Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) were listed as potential topics, this specific candidate wasn't asked many DSA questions.

Round 3: HR Interview
The HR round was relatively short, lasting about 10-15 minutes. It involved basic HR questions and inquiries about the candidate's preferred tech stack, technologies of interest, and types of projects they were interested in.
