I am a final-year undergraduate student majoring in Electrical Engineering. My academic journey has been focused on the Bachelor's Program in this department. My primary areas of interest lie in programming and embedded systems. I initiated my coding journey in the 11th standard and delved into competitive programming during my first year of college. Overview The on-campus selection process for the Honeywell internship comprised three rounds, all of which I successfully cleared. The initial round involved coding with three moderate-level questions. The second round was a technical assessment covering programming and mathematical questions, coupled with a review of my CV. The concluding round was the HR interview, focusing on typical inquiries about my plans and aspirations. Role The company had come for an SDE-II role which was for 2 months and the internship was in Bengaluru. They expected a good grasp of DSA and mild developing experience. Process Round 1 (Online Coding Round): This was the preliminary round held on Hackerrank. There were three coding questions which were all DSA-based : The first question was on the easy level which could be solved by anyone who has started DSA. The second question was of moderate level and was based on Dynamic Programming. The third question was a moderate-level tree question which could be done if you have solved enough tree questions on leetcode and other coding platforms. Round 2 (Technical Round): The interviewer asked me two questions one of which was a DSA question which was a standard problem (knapsack, DP), and the other was based on time complexity. He started with my CV after the DSA questions, where he particularly focused on one project where I had made a simulation using ASCII characters in a C++ terminal. He asked how I implemented it and what was the maths involved. He then proceeded by asking me my favourite algorithm in DSA and why, and I responded by saying "Dijkstra's algorithm" explaining how it uses the greedy approach to find the shortest path along with priority queue to make it efficient in terms of time complexity. Round 3 (HR): The HR round went very smoothly with easy standard HR questions which you can practice from coding platforms. Be prepared with the standard HR questions which will come in handy and must not be overlooked. https://www.interviewbit.com/hr-interview-questions/ https://resources.workable.com/tutorial/hr-interview-questions During the HR interview, I responded to questions such as "What do you know about Honeywell?" and "Why do you want to join the company?" along with other relevant questions. To prepare yourself for the HR round, ensure you have a basic understanding of the company's products and technology stack. Familiarize yourself with the range of products the company offers and gain insights into the technologies they use.

Verdict Selected Familiarize yourself with your CV, as it serves as the primary determinant in the initial selection phase. Your CV is a reflection of your professional identity, so invest time in having it reviewed by different individuals. If time allows, consider acquiring additional, quick-to-learn skills that could be viewed as valuable by potential employers. Strategically choose projects that align with specific domains, showcasing a deliberate progression in your career direction rather than a random assortment of experiences.
