Hi Everyone , in this article I would be sharing interview experience for the role of SDET at Reliance AJIO which is an e-commerce company. Before beginning with the experience, I would like to share a quick insight into who is an SDET and what are the roles and responsibilities of the profile . An SDET, or Software Development Engineer in Test, is a crucial role in software engineering that combines software development with testing to ensure software quality. They are responsible for the automation testing and sometimes might be asked to do manual testing as well . So , starting with the interview experience , recruiter reached out to me via email. She was super helpful in the entire process. I shared my resume and after a quick call with recruiter my profile got shortlisted .
Round 1 Technical Round The first interview round was Technical Round where I was asked to introduce myself initially and a few quick questions on the resume. I was given 2 DSA problems to solve in 45 mins - 1 hr of time and time complexity was asked as well of the programs that I had written.
Round 2 QA Round I successfully cleared round 1 and
next round was scheduled which was QA Round . In this round , the questions asked where mostly related to automation testing , manual testing and testing methodologies . The questions were a mix of theoretical and practical questions. I was also asked about the roles and responsibilities of my current company and reason I was looking out for opportunity. Overall the interview experience went well and the recruiter was helpful as well .
Result I was selected for this position. Tips : 1. Prepare your resume well . 2. Prepare the theoretical and practical automation questions related to your framework. 3. Prepare for DSA leet code easy and medium level questions related to string manipulation, hashmaps etc. 4. Speak out whatever you are thinking , it helps interviewer to understand and he might give you a few hints. Resources on Youtube and Interview experiences at Geeksforgeeks helped me a lot in this preparation. Overall it was a good experience and less time consuming as there were only 2 interview rounds. The recruiter was also helpful as well . Thanks a lot for reading ! Best wishes !

About Reliance Interview Reports
This question was reported by a candidate who interviewed at Reliance. 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 Reliance are the higher-signal extractions to take from this report.
For broader preparation context, the Reliance 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 Reliance reports consistently are the ones worth investing in; one-off niche problems are not.
During Your Reliance 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 Reliance 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.
