Sberbank Software Engineer interview experience

The interview combined C++ questions with a case study scenario, and the case discussion was the part that stuck with me because it felt tied to real security challenges rather than generic prompts.

The tone was practical and focused on how I reasoned through tradeoffs. I didn’t feel like I was being thrown curveballs; instead, the scenario let me talk through what I would do and why, while the C++ portion checked whether my fundamentals were solid enough for the problems being discussed.
