ABB Software Engineer interview: logical test and office meeting

I applied through Workday, was contacted, and chose a time for a recruiter call. That simple portal setup moved quickly into a more demanding process than I had expected, although it seemed well managed. I first took a cognitive or logical test and then had an online Teams round. After that I met people in person at the office, including the department for the role, HR, and possibly other manager…

ABB Software Engineer interview: fundamentals and a difficult final round

The process started with a familiar technical sequence but became a test of both fundamentals and performance under pressure. I faced medium-level data-structures and algorithms questions, plus computer-networks and operating-systems topics with a clear cybersecurity-basics tilt. There was also a group discussion, which made it feel less like a one-shot evaluation and more like an assessment of h…

ABB Software Engineer interview: one quick behavioral conversation

I had one behavioral interview that lasted about half an hour, followed by a short wait while they followed up.

ABB Software Engineer interview: system design with manager and team

The second stage was the real technical checkpoint, and it focused much more on system design than deep coding. Once I was there, the structure was clear and there were no surprises about the format. I concentrated on explaining my thinking through the system-design promp…

What are interview experiences?

An interview experience is a candidate's own account of a hiring loop — not a question bank entry. It tells you the shape of the process: how many rounds there were, what each round actually tested, how long the gaps between them ran, and what the recruiter said at the end. That context is the part a question list cannot give you.

How to read them

Weight recent write-ups more heavily — interview loops change, often within a year. Read several for the same company and role rather than one: a single account tells you what one interviewer asked, while five tell you what the bar is. Note the outcome badge too, since a rejection write-up usually explains the gap far more precisely than an offer one.
