Recently, Deutsche Bank visited our campus to recruit Interns and FTEs and I got the offer. I am sharing my whole interview experience. There were total 5 rounds: Online Assessment Technical Round 1 Technical Round 2 Pro-Fitness Round HR Round Online Assessment Round was conducted on 13th Aug, 2023 and all the interviews were conducted on 17th Aug,
2023.
Online Assessment Platform: HackerEarth Time: 90mins (3 coding problems) Validate an IP Address [Medium] Collecting Coins [Easy] (Greedy based): In a battle royale game, N heroes (with powers in array A) face M monsters (with powers in array B). A hero can defeat a monster if their power is greater or equal. After a victory, the hero earns coins from array C (of size M). We want to find how many coins each hero can collect by defeating any monster. N = 5, M = 4 A = [1, 3, 5, 2, 4] B = [1, 4, 2, 9] C = [1, 2, 8, 4]
Output: 11 Largest Dividing K [Hard]: Given an integer array of size N and an integer K. Find the largest positive number, less than or equal to 10^9, such that at least K numbers in the array are divisible by it. N = 5, K = 3 nums = [12, 16, 32, 2, 45]
Output: 4 Technical
Round 1 Time: 45-50mins The person who took my Interview was the CTO of the company. He was very friendly and started with my intro. Then asked about my last project in the Hackathon. What was the USP of your product? How was it different from others in that hackathon and later told me to draw the HLD of the project and asked actually what was happening behind the scenes — Authentication , Forgot Password Implementations etc. Then he directly jumped to the Architecture of Git . He asked me very basic DSA questions like — the Middle of the LinkedList and some real-life examples of data structures — BST, Stack, LinkedList etc. Some differences between Array & LinkedList based on the use cases, when LinkedList should be preferable to Array? Apart from these, he asked some basic questions — What is OOP ? Mention the pillars. What are the differences between SQL & NoSQL? Dynamic Schema, CAP Theorem, ACID Properties. At the end he offered to ask any question. I heard DB was in migration from On-Prem services to Google Cloud Platform (GCP), so I asked about these and he was very interested & started discussion for 5-6 mins more.
Technical Round 2 : Time: 65-70mins The interviewer was not so friendly. He started with my intro and asked me about my projects. He asked me: “ You know Git! Write down the Git commands from cloning to pushing-merging ”. Wanted to know about the staging changes. Some project-related discussions... In DBMS, he asked me what I think which will be faster between SQL and MongoDB. I answered it with different scenarios. Then he told me to create a table in SQL, define schemas, insert elements & some basic SQL queries related to that table. He asked what are the data structures I know. Some real-life examples of the data structures. Then some very basic DSA questions — You have an array of 100 elements where every element is present 1 time except an element that is present twice. Find the duplicate element. Create a stack Fibonacci, where you can apply Fibonacci in real-life Though we were running out of time, he gave me two puzzles — You have X rupees and Y paisa in your bank. You go to the bank and withdraw all money. At the time of withdrawing, the Bank mistakenly gave you Y rupees, X paisa. Now, if you subtract 5 paise from your withdrawn money, the resultant money will be twice your actual Bank Money. What was the money present in your Bank? After formulating, I asked “May I use a calculator?” He gave no response. I started taking x = 1, 2, 3 on the rough page but was unable to find (X, Y) there. [ Ans: (31, 63) ] 4 People on a Rickety Bridge Pro-Fitness Round : Time: 50mins The interviewer was very friendly and asked to show my projects in his Mobile. I have Srijan23 project so just tell him to search “ Srijan JU ” in Google and it will appear :’) Then, I displayed different sections of the project on my mobile fast. He asked me what is the “ Resume ” written in your Resume. I actually built my Resume using HTML/CSS & hosted it in Amazon S3 & used CloudFront for more optimized distribution so told him about that. Then, he asked about SRIJAN (the Annual Techno-Management Fest of Jadavpur University) — what’s happening there, what are the events, students from all departments are there to organize events? Merchandises!! What were your difficulties at the time of making and managing this website, what were the challenges? He asked me, if you get some funds then what are the tech stacks you decide to choose and why? What are the things you want to add more to this website? A large amount of people were accessing this website so what kind of steps you took at that time? Then asked some behavioral questions. He also asked about my family background and any plan for Higher Study. At the end, he gave me a chance to ask some questions.
HR Round : Time: 15-20mins This event was organised in Microsoft Teams . A female HR was there on the other side. She asked me to tell her about myself. She asked me about my hobbies and my favorite games (PC, Mobile games). She was very frank and then asked some situation-based questions.
Example — What is your experience after joining JU? If you see that there is a deadline of tomorrow, and today in the evening you found a critical bug. What will you do? Why DB? Final
Verdict SELECTED !!! Tips: Study implementations of all Data Structures with real-life examples &
analysis of all sorting algorithms Have some good projects (try to keep some Full Stack projects) in your resume and have a clear understanding of that They are very much focused on Teamwork, not only on individual skills. So try to showcase this skill Be confident with your answers If you are given some hard questions, don’t panic, just try to tackle with your basics. They also know that is a hard question, if you can try and solve it a little bit, they become very happy and give good feedback Try to collect some news about the Company and prepare some questions beforehand to ask in each round

About Deutsche Bank Interview Reports
This question was reported by a candidate who interviewed at Deutsche Bank. LeakCode aggregates interview reports from 10+ sources, including 1Point3Acres, Glassdoor, LeetCode Discuss, Blind, Reddit, Indeed, and Nowcoder. Each report is translated where necessary, deduplicated against existing entries, and tagged by company, role, round type, and reporting date.
Use this question as one calibration data point, not a memorization target. Companies typically rotate their question pools every 2-4 months; the exact wording of a 2024 question may differ from what you encounter today. The underlying pattern, difficulty level, and follow-up depth at Deutsche Bank are the higher-signal extractions to take from this report.
For broader preparation context, the Deutsche Bank interview process typically includes a recruiter screen, one or two technical phone screens, and a 4-5 round on-site loop covering coding, system design (at L4+ levels), and behavioral. Reports tagged on LeakCode show the round-by-round distribution and typical difficulty calibration. To browse questions filtered by round type and seniority, use the company hub linked above.
How To Practice This Type of Question
Solve similar problems on LeetCode under timed conditions (25-35 minutes per medium difficulty). The goal is pattern recognition: recognize the underlying technique (sliding window, two-pointer, BFS, memoized recursion, etc.) within 60-90 seconds of reading. Strong candidates verbalize their hypothesis out loud before coding, then iterate based on feedback. Weak candidates dive into implementation immediately, lose time on the wrong approach, and run out of time for follow-ups.
Companies update their question pools every 2-4 months. The exact wording of any given question may have been retired by the time you interview. Focus your prep on the pattern, not the specific problem. The patterns that appear in Deutsche Bank reports consistently are the ones worth investing in; one-off niche problems are not.
During Your Deutsche Bank Round
Apply the standard interview round template: clarify requirements (2-3 minutes), state your approach out loud and confirm direction with the interviewer (3-5 minutes), code with narration (15-25 minutes), test with concrete examples including edge cases (5 minutes), discuss optimization or trade-offs if time permits (5 minutes). This template is universally accepted across FAANG and adjacent companies; deviating from it produces weaker interviewer feedback signal.
The single most predictive failure mode in Deutsche Bank reports tagged "no hire": not asking clarifying questions. Interviewers are explicitly trained to weight this. Strong candidates ask 3-5 clarifying questions even on problems that look obvious; weak candidates dive into code immediately. The clarifying-question check is often the first signal recorded in the interviewer's written notes.
