A Publicis Sapient Company Review on Interview Questions for Freshers

Are you preparing for campus interviews and wondering what technical questions you should focus on? Gone are the days when we prepared for verbal technical questions in campus placements. Now, organizations test coding skills in depth. You may have heard that students are offered 2-3 different paygrade in an organization in a single campus recruitment drive. What differs is the level of technical knowledge of theory and the latest concepts like Artificial Intelligence.

Let’s discuss them in detail in this Publicis Sapient company review where one of my colleagues shared his recent interview experience.

Publicis Sapient hires freshers from engineering colleges as well as B-schools. My colleague is a computer science graduate and wants to become a data engineer in the future. Currently, he is working on a Java project, and we connected through an internal company event.

He had his campus interview for Publicis Sapient in September 2020, which was a completely virtual process. There was a total of three rounds:

1. Coding round – 90 minutes
2. Technical round
3. HR round

 The coding round had two questions based on array and strings. Questions were a little different for all students, although they were on the same concepts. In his batch, only 30% of students could qualify in the coding round.

In the technical round, interviewers deep-dived into concepts of OOPs, operating systems, cryptography, networking, and college projects. Rajat had created a notepad editor in Java, which worked similar to Jupyter notebook. The interviewers were quite impressed with his answers and in-depth knowledge of all functionalities created by him.

In an online code editor, candidates have to optimize their codes and solve the problem.

Hence, interviews in Publicis Sapient are coding-intensive with an emphasis on a deep conceptual understanding. You should prepare mock tests and read past Sapient Consulting Bangalore feedbacks for the past year’s questions. For those who may not know, Sapient Consulting is the same as Publicis Sapient.
