The interview process at Informatica for an entry-level Software Development Engineer (SDE) position typically involves several stages. Here’s a general overview based on recent experiences shared by candidates: Online Assessment: This is usually the first round and consists of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and coding problems. The MCQs cover topics like computer fundamentals, data structures, algorithms, and Java-specific questions. The coding problems test your problem-solving skills and your ability to write efficient code. Technical Interviews: There are usually 2-3 technical interview rounds. First Technical Round: Focuses on data structures and algorithms. You might be asked to solve problems on arrays, linked lists, trees, graphs, and dynamic programming. Second Technical Round: This round often dives deeper into your understanding of Java. Questions may cover topics like JVM, garbage collection, multithreading, and Java 8 features like streams and lambdas. Third Technical Round: This round may involve system design questions, even for entry-level positions. You might be asked to design a simple system or discuss the architecture of a project you have worked on. Managerial Round: This round assesses your fit within the team and the company culture. Questions may include behavioral scenarios, your long-term career goals, and how you handle challenges and conflicts. HR Interview: The final round is usually with HR and covers topics like your background, why you want to join Informatica, and your salary expectations.

The interview was easy. The questions asked were quite simple but it is based on interviewer. My interviewer did not even listen to what I coded or told. He was talking to someone else in the room. And didnt even look at the logic.
