      Software Engineer(Internship) Interview

      24 May 2026
      Anonymous employee
      Colombo, Western
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Pearson (Colombo, Western) in Apr 2026

      Interview

      The interview process consisted of a comprehensive 1-hour technical interview, which was the longest interview I have experienced so far. The discussion covered a wide range of topics, including Java fundamentals to advanced concepts, Git and version control practices, frontend development knowledge, and general software engineering concepts. In addition to technical questions, the interview also evaluated communication abilities, problem-solving approach, and other soft skills. If the first interview is successfully completed, there is a second interview with the line manager. This round is mainly focused on behavioral questions, teamwork, communication, work attitude, and overall soft skills assessment.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      asked my opinion about the re-establishment of the Sri Lankan fuel QR system and whether rebuilding the database without fully clearing old data was the correct approach.
