Just started

The bar: One hard problem solved completely. Partial credit does not exist in the SWC test.

The coding test is pass or fail with all test cases, which makes it unusually harsh.

7
ready

Early days. Work the Samsung sheet in order and let the planner pace you.

The loop
  1. 1
    SWC test

    Three hour coding test with one hard simulation or search problem, all cases must pass.

  2. 2
    Technical interview

    Your solution, complexity, and core subjects.

  3. 3
    HR

    Fit.

What actually matters here
  • Samsung Research tests are simulation heavy: BFS, DFS, backtracking and grid state search.
  • You get three hours for one problem, so correctness beats speed.
  • Practise writing bug-free brute force with pruning.
  • C and C++ are the usual permitted languages, check before you sit.
