Alcatel-Lucent Motive Software Engineer interview experience

Got offer

Hard

Positive

BengaluruPosted Oct 2013 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview sequence had four rounds: a technical discussion first, then a second technical round that included programming, followed by a managerial round, and finally an HR round.

Programming was in C or C++, and the topics also touched on OOP concepts and algorithms.

The structure felt classic and sequential, with each round narrowing focus—first on fundamentals and conversation, then on actual coding/programming thinking, then on how I’d fit from a people-and-collaboration standpoint, and then on the usual HR items. The difficulty was described to me as difficult, and the way the rounds were laid out matched that—there was less room to coast because each stage expected a different kind of competency.

I received an offer, which made the overall arc feel successful
