MicroStrategy Software Engineer Assessment - 3 sections and Hackerrank
Hello everyone,
I recently received an invitation to take an online assessment for the Software Engineer position at MicroStrategy. I’m hoping to get some insights from those who have gone through this process before or have experience with similar assessments.
The assessment seems to include a few key sections, and I’d like to know more about what to expect and how best to prepare:
- Verbal Section – What kind of questions are asked? Are they focused on grammar, reading comprehension, or critical reasoning? An example or tips on preparation would be very helpful!
- Analytical Section – Are these questions related to data analysis, problem-solving, or numerical reasoning? Any specific areas I should focus on?
- Design Section – What does the design portion entail? Does it involve software design principles, system architecture, or UI/UX questions?
- Hackerrank Assessment – This is supposed to cover Frontend, DevOps, and Backend. If anyone could share the types of questions they encountered or specific areas to study, I’d really appreciate it.
Any guidance, especially on the coding sections, or examples from past experience, would be amazing! Thanks in advance for any tips or suggestions you can offer.
Update:
- The verbal reasoning is similar to everyday communications (synonyms and antonyms)
- Analytical is similar to word problems (percentages etc)
- Design is related to selecting best designs (charts and graphs (ex: salary vs year))
- Hackerrank : Two easy LC, MCQ's (multiple + best) language questions: what is the output of code etc.
