Read real Specialist Programmer - L3 interview experiences. Get insights into the specific questions, interview process, and preparation strategies from verified candidates.
I recently had the opportunity to participate in the Infosys on-campus recruitment drive at IIT Dharwad. I’m happy to share that the process concluded with an offer for the Specialist Programmer (SP) L2 role. Here is a detailed breakdown of my experience: Round 1: Online Assessment (OA) The assessment consisted of 4 coding problems categorized by difficulty: Easy, Medium, Hard, and Complex. Performance in this round determines which role you are mapped to (DSE, SP-L1, SP-L2, or SP-L3). My Performance: I have solved 2.3 question out of 4 ( easy full , medium partial and for hard 11/12). Difficulty Level: The "Easy" and "Medium" questions were comparable to LeetCode Medium. The "Hard" question was LeetCode Hard, and the "Complex" one felt like a high-rated Codeforces problem. Key Takeaway: The entire set was heavy on Dynamic Programming. Solving the "Hard" problem is mandatory to be shortlisted for the SP-L2 and SP-L3 roles. Round 2: Technical Interview (at Infosys Hubli Campus) I was shortlisted for the SP-L3 interview process based on my OA score. The interview took place in person at the Infosys Hubli campus. Atmosphere: The interviewer was very friendly. He skipped the standard "introduction" formalities and jumped straight into a technical discussion. Code Discussion: He reviewed my OA submission extensively. I was asked to explain my approach and logic for every problem I attempted during the assessment. System Design: We spent about 40 minutes discussing a System Design problem: "Design a URL Shortener (like TinyURL)." This was an in-depth discussion covering database choices, scaling, and hashing logic. Verdict: Selected for the Specialist Programmer L2 role. Grateful for the opportunity and looking forward to the journey ahead!
