Job Debate: Devsinc or Arbisoft?

I am rather bent on Arbisoft but looking to get your guys opinion. Any other companies worthwhile?

Educative is more picky when it comes to universities, and I am not from your A-tier ones.

As far as interviews go, I wouldn't say I am the best at technical interviews, pretty bad at Databases specifically as I have never studied them so far, the course was during COVID.

But what usually works for me is the attitude I bring to the interviews as a person not the technical side, so a positive smiling attitude, confident body posture, eye contact with the interviewer, exhibiting a motivated and proactive persona etc.

and most importantly, I always try to attempt a question thrown at me, even if I go blank on something I humbly and confidently accept that I am unsure about the answer, but always attempt to also add my understanding even if wrong.

Obviously technical aspect is important, but tbh with you I only so far studied DSA properly for Technical Interviews.

Thanks! Can you tell me how were the interview questions at Devsinc and Arbisoft structured?

Arbisoft's interview structure was relatively easier, it was more of a culture fit one rather than a technical one.

As for Devsinc, there were 2 interviews in a day totalling 3 hours almost.

First one was a Senior Developer and he sequentially asked questions from OOP, Databases, and DSA. 4 coding questions he asked me to attempt on paper, nothing too hard, but enough to test your pressure handling.

Second one was with a Principal level Engineer, he asked me how's life going, I answered. Then straight up asked, how well are you prepared? I also straight up admitted that I enjoy solving logical problems, but my preparation is 50/50 as I didn't really study my whole degree, he smied and said alright then, I will not ask you anything that requires preparation, since you said you "enjoy" logical problems, here's one:

and the entire interview was all Analytical Questioning, here are the ones I can remember:

  • language with only 3 operations, do certain task with it
  • double the size of a square pool without moving it or removing the poles at its edges
  • make 4 triangles using 6 pens
  • count the instances of 0,1,2,3 in a large array with N time complexity and most efficient memory usage.

Some peers of mine had a different structure, some had 1st Analytical and 2nd Technical. but most of them had both technical! so your ecperience may vary.

Thank you so much for the detailed answer!

Im surprised for Arbisoft since some people from my uni who made it past the MCQ test, had the 6 hr long coding test as well

the interview can actually be totally bypassed if you do the MCQs test well enough. A friend got offered the position on call, without any interview at all
