Rounds: 1 round (SoP + Resume Filtering, followed by Technical Interview)
Topics Asked: Linux experience, overall programming experience, relevant projects
For this specific software profile (operating systems, embedded systems, low-level stuff), the selection process involved Statement of Purpose (SoP) and resume filtering, followed by a single technical interview. Unlike some other profiles (e.g., ML), there was no coding test for this role.
The interview was conducted online by Japanese members of Sony and lasted about 20 minutes. It was purely technical. Questions focused on the candidate's experience using Linux, their overall programming experience, and detailed discussions about relevant projects. The interviewer did not focus on Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA). It was recommended to speak slowly and clearly due to potential accent differences. No HR questions were asked in this particular interview, though some friends of the candidate experienced HR questions.
