I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Nokia (Portugal) in Jan 2025
Interview
3 interviews with the manager and team. 1 with hr, second with technical team, final with manager. They just asked normal stuff about how you would behave in certain conditions. The technical was way too technical for this position and out of topic.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What data types are most common to use in databases?
The interview process at Nokia started with an online application, followed by an initial screening call from HR to discuss my background and interests. After that, there was a technical round which included coding questions focused on data structures and algorithms (mostly in Python/C++). I was also asked some basic system design concepts and scenario-based problem-solving questions. The next round involved a technical interview with a panel where I solved coding problems on a shared screen and discussed my approach. There was also a short discussion about my previous projects and experience with relevant technologies. Finally, there was an HR round to assess cultural fit and answer any queries I had about the role and company. Overall, the process was well-structured, and the interviewers were supportive and professional.
Interview is not bad very standard. Was asked some leetcode questions within a series of three rounds. Tested on a couple networking and operating systems concepts as well which didn’t seem out of ordinary
