I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Ericsson (Budapest) in Mar 2024
Interview
CODING
Before the test, you can choose up to 3 languages for coding problems and also optionally you can pass theory quizzes. Basically, you can take one language for coding and solve all of the tasks in it, but the more the
better. Coding and theory tasks are done on some platform(leetcode-ish) with no supervision. The coding tasks were Leetcode Easy, can't remember about the theory ones.
FIRST CALL
1-hour call with the Project Manager or Team Lead where I was telling about my previous experience, problems solved before, etc, no hard skills questions.
SECOND CALL(and last at least for me)
1 more hour with the guy from the previous call + several Senior Devs. Almost the same as the previous call, but this time you prove that you know the subject.
REJECTION :(
1 month later I received a bot message with a rejection, upon requesting feedback from HR got something like: "Nice guy, good knowledge of this
n that but no job for student" -_-
Liked:
+ Decent people
+ Automated assessment check
+ Still gained experience
Disliked:
- Poor feedback, I don't blame them but still don't like it :(
- Too long for an Intern position

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Ericsson (Galway) in Mar 2026
Interview
It was started with some questions to get to know you as a person and a chat with the interviewer, which lasted for around 3-5 minutes then the actual interview process began starting off with questions about my course.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked about some of the modules i had studied so far in college
2 rounds, with 2 developers. first had only behavioral and situational while the other was easy level leetcode. Could ask the interviewers for help and work through problem together. Common behavioral questions like tell me about yourself, why do you want to work here.
Very tough questions. Interviewers were not very fair. Never gave me a chance to explain, loads of short quick fire questions that I didn’t know. Didn’t ask about previous roles.
