Round 2 (Technical Interview) Duration 70 minutes

The technical interview started with a friendly atmosphere. It began with a formal introduction from the interviewer followed by mine, highlighting my passion for computer science and my journey and then delved into a mix of questions spanning DSA, DBMS, and OOPS.

It began with the basics of my preferred language C++ and then delved into the Oops concepts. I was supposed to explain the OOPS concepts by implementing polymorphism, inheritance, abstraction, virtual function, the significance of polymorphism, real-world use of OOPS, etc.

Then , I was given some coding questions to solve where I had to discuss the approach and write a neat code. I started with a brute force approach and summed up the answer making an optimal solution using set, map, and hashing algorithms. I even dry-run through a test case.

Additionally, the interviewer tasked me with devising the most suitable data structure for certain scenarios and outlining the strategy for storing the data within that structure, moving on to asking about different traversal techniques of graphs and trees and their real-life examples.

The interviewer explored my knowledge of linked lists, including the complexities related to them. A tricky question emerged, deleting a node from a linked list when given the node’s address directly. Also, I explained the differences between Merge Sort and Quick Sort and was also given the set of elements to sort using Quicksort . I was further asked to explain the Priority Queue and implementation. The conversation shifted to DBMS, where I discussed normalization extensively. I also explained denormalization and its purpose. I was asked to write SQL queries for various scenarios. The interview concluded with some basic JavaScript questions.

Shortly after completing the interview, I immediately received a call for the second-round interview, which involved project discussion & HR.

After the first interview round, 14 students, including me, were shortlisted for the next interview stage.

Overview: The interview process with BNY Mellon proved to be a one-of-a-kind and incredibly impressive journey. The process was both challenging and enlightening, giving me a deeper insight into the technical and professional expectations of such a prestigious company. In this blog post, I aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the entire process, starting from the application phase all the way to the interview stages.

BNY Mellon recently visited my university campus (Banasthali Vidyapith) for the first time to hire summer interns for Software developer roles. The selection procedure included an initial Online Assessment, succeeded by two interview rounds. The first interview focused on technical aspects, while the second encompassed a combination of technical and HR-related discussions.

Note: All were eliminatory rounds.
