Ericsson Interview Questions & Answers

Q: Give a brief introduction about yourself.

A: Keep it to about a minute: your background, one or two projects you're proud of, and why telecom and Ericsson interest you. End on what you want to work on next.

Answer by AI

Open with your education and any relevant internships or projects in one line.
Highlight a project that used skills the role needs, such as networking, databases, or a programming language.
Close with a sentence on why Ericsson and 5G work motivate you.

Q: Write an SQL query to find the second largest salary of a person.

A: One clean approach is SELECT MAX(salary) FROM employees WHERE salary < (SELECT MAX(salary) FROM employees). You can also use DENSE_RANK or ORDER BY salary DESC with LIMIT 1 OFFSET 1.

Answer by AI

Subquery method: MAX of salary where salary is below the overall MAX.
Window method: DENSE_RANK() over salary descending, then pick rank 2 to handle ties.
Mention LIMIT 1 OFFSET 1 as a simple alternative and note how each handles duplicate salaries.

Q: Share your screen and run your projects, explain the features and the MongoDB database you used, plus OOPS concepts.

A: Walk through the live demo, then explain your data model in MongoDB (collections, documents, why NoSQL fit) and tie features back to the four OOP pillars: encapsulation, inheritance, abstraction, and polymorphism.

Answer by AI

Run the project first, then narrate the main user flow and the problem it solves.
Explain your MongoDB schema choices: collections, documents, indexing, and why you picked NoSQL.
Map your code to OOP concepts with concrete examples from your classes.

Q: Write the command for a database connection.

A: Show the connection pattern in your stack, for example a JDBC DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, password) call in Java, and explain the connection string parts and closing the connection.

Answer by AI

State the driver or library, then the connection string with host, port, and database name.
Give a concrete example in your language, such as JDBC in Java or a MongoClient URI.
Mention pooling and always closing the connection to avoid leaks.
