      Software Engineer Interview

      24 Nov 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Minneapolis, MN
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Forcepoint (Minneapolis, MN) in Oct 2018

      Interview

      Went through basic HR prescreening then had a two-hour virtual onsite interview. Started with half an hour with the hiring manager. He asked generic behavioral and teamwork questions. He explained the company history and how they use "Agilefall". Next, an hour of technical questions with 4 software engineers. Lots of generic Java OOP questions, a little bit on JavaScript, security protocols and cryptography, and one about regex. Next, half an hour with another manager which felt like a repeat of the first half hour. The entire process was pretty easy and straightforward. I wouldn't want to work there because they're still in an old fashioned waterfall-like environment. Most devs and QA are offshore, out of state, and 35+ years old.

      Interview questions [5]

      Java: static, interface, synchronization, threads, exceptions, memory exceptions

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at Forcepoint (Mumbai) in Jul 2023

      Interview

      The interview started with the obvious question to introduce myself. Then the interviewer asked about my technical strengths and proceeded to ask questions on OOPs in Java, Normal forms in DBMS and the OSI Model in Computer Networks. She then gave me a question to solve. I coded the brute-force approach and gave her an optimized one but I could not code it due to time constraints. In the second technical round, it was more about my resume and questions related to the same.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      OOPs concepts or pillars in any OOP-supported language
