Candidates describe Genpact's software engineer interviews as resume-driven and fundamentals-focused. Several say interviewers worked through the projects and technologies on their resume, asking what they built, which technologies they used, and what challenges they faced. Anything on your resume may be probed, so list only what you can defend.
Technical content varies by team. Java-track candidates report DSA and Java fundamentals, and in one case close questioning on Java Stream API and Executor Service syntax. Another candidate described a pen-and-paper test that leaned on system design, microservices patterns and JVM internals, with later rounds on design patterns and SOLID principles. SQL appears often, from definitions and practical queries to finding the second largest salary and using window functions. Other reported questions are modest: a recursive factorial in Python, reading a CSV file, OOP, networking basics such as subnets and default gateways, PL/SQL and Unix. Some reports describe a client-side technical round after the internal one, which one candidate said went deeper on complexity and optimization.
Communication carries weight. Candidates report aptitude tests in campus processes, an emphasis on English proficiency and clear explanations, and manager or HR conversations about background and team fit. Experiences differ in format and outcome, with offers and rejections both reported, so treat the pattern as a guide to what may come up rather than a fixed script.
A sensible plan is to prepare two or three project walkthroughs, rehearse core Java or Python and OOP explanations, practice SQL queries including window functions, and solve a few basic data structure problems aloud.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Candidates report different entry points: an aptitude test followed by a HackerRank technical round in campus hiring, an online test, or a short phone screening on background, education and projects. Formats vary by hiring channel, so confirm yours with the recruiter.
Candidates typically describe a technical round built around the resume. Reported topics include project experience, OOP, SQL queries and window functions, DSA and Java fundamentals, and networking, PL/SQL or Unix basics. Some report only basic questions, while others describe heavier Java depth. Be ready to explain your reasoning aloud.
Several candidates report a technical round with the client side after the internal one. One said it went deeper on complexity and optimization, and another described client rounds combining technical depth with a managerial component. This round may not apply to every team or hiring channel, so ask your recruiter.
Many candidates report a closing manager or HR discussion covering background, projects and how they would work within the team. Clear communication of your thought process and how your experience fits the project appears to matter here.
