Société Générale Software Engineer interview with WinForms mismatch

I went through a short, fast-moving process centered on a hiring-manager discussion and a coding session. The manager round covered my past experience, then I had an objective-oriented coding exercise rather than a usual LeetCode-style problem. There was also an HR call afterward that felt separate from the main loop. What stayed with me was the gap between the technical conversation and my expec…

Société Générale Software Engineer Interview Experience: Git, Java, and Spring Boot scenarios

The interview began like other technical discussions. I introduced myself, explained the domain I had worked in, and talked about projects I wanted to showcase. The interviewer then moved to scenario-based questions tied to engineering foundations. The questions covered Git, Java, and Spring Boot.

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.
