Publicis Sapient Software Developer Interview Questions and Answers

Updated 20 Mar 2025

46 Interview questions

🔥 Asked by recruiter 2 times
A Software Developer was asked 9mo ago
Q. What are the SOLID principles?
Ans. 

SOLID principles are a set of five design principles that help make software designs more understandable, flexible, and maintainable.

  • S - Single Responsibility Principle: A class should have only one reason to change.

  • O - Open/Closed Principle: Software entities should be open for extension but closed for modification.

  • L - Liskov Substitution Principle: Objects of a superclass should be replaceable with objects of it...

A Software Developer was asked
Q. What is the difference between a List and a Tuple?
Ans. 

List is mutable, tuple is immutable in Python.

  • List can be modified after creation, tuple cannot.

  • List is defined using square brackets [], tuple using parentheses ().

  • List is slower than tuple due to mutability.

  • Example: list_example = [1, 2, 3], tuple_example = (1, 2, 3)

A Software Developer was asked
Q. What are extension methods?
Ans. 

Extended methods are a way to add new functionality to existing classes without modifying their source code.

  • Extended methods allow developers to add new methods to existing classes without inheritance.

  • They are commonly used in languages like C# and Kotlin.

  • Extended methods can improve code readability and maintainability by keeping related functionality together.

A Software Developer was asked
Q. Given the head of a singly linked list, reverse the list, and return the reversed list.
Ans. 

Reversing a linked list involves changing the direction of its nodes to point to the previous node instead of the next.

  • 1. Initialize three pointers: previous (prev), current (curr), and next.

  • 2. Traverse the list: while curr is not null, set next to curr.next.

  • 3. Reverse the link: curr.next = prev.

  • 4. Move prev and curr one step forward: prev = curr; curr = next.

  • 5. Repeat until curr is null; prev will be the new head...

A Software Developer was asked
Q. Given the root of a binary tree, invert the tree, and return its root.
Ans. 

Invert a binary tree by swapping left and right children recursively.

  • Use a recursive approach to swap left and right children.

  • Base case: If the node is null, return.

  • Example: For a tree with root 1, left 2, right 3, after inversion, left becomes 3, right becomes 2.

  • Iterative approach can also be used with a queue or stack.

A Software Developer was asked
Q. What is the difference between method overloading and method overriding?
Ans. 

Method overloading is having multiple methods with the same name but different parameters. Method overriding is having a subclass method with the same name and parameters as a superclass method.

  • Method overloading is used to provide different ways of calling the same method with different parameters.

  • Method overriding is used to provide a specific implementation of a method in a subclass that is already defined in t...

A Software Developer was asked
Q. What are the differences between a switch case and an if-else statement?
Ans. 

Switch case is used for multiple conditions while if else is used for binary conditions.

  • Switch case is faster than if else for multiple conditions.

  • If else can handle complex conditions while switch case cannot.

  • Switch case can only compare values of the same data type.

  • If else can handle null values while switch case cannot.

  • Example: switch (day) { case 1: console.log('Monday'); break; case 2: console.log('Tuesday');...

A Software Developer was asked
Q. What is the difference between an interface and an abstract class?
Ans. 

Interface and abstract class are both used for abstraction in object-oriented programming.

  • An interface is a collection of abstract methods that define a contract for a class to implement.

  • An abstract class is a class that cannot be instantiated and may contain abstract methods.

  • Interfaces are used to achieve multiple inheritance in Java.

  • Abstract classes can have non-abstract methods and instance variables.

  • An example...

A Software Developer was asked
Q. What is polymorphism?
Ans. 

Polymorphism is the ability of an object to take on many forms.

  • It allows objects of different classes to be treated as if they were objects of the same class.

  • It is achieved through method overriding and method overloading.

  • Example: A shape class can have multiple subclasses like circle, square, etc. and all can be treated as shapes.

  • Example: A method can have different implementations in different classes but with t...

A Software Developer was asked
Q. What is inheritance?
Ans. 

Inheritance is a mechanism in object-oriented programming where a new class is created by inheriting properties of an existing class.

  • Inheritance allows code reusability and saves time and effort in writing new code.

  • The existing class is called the parent or base class, and the new class is called the child or derived class.

  • The child class inherits all the properties and methods of the parent class and can also add...

Nailed the interview, still rejected
Just had the BEST interview ever – super positive and encouraging! But got rejected. Interviewer said I was the most prepared, knew it was a full-time role (unlike others), and loved my answers. One of my questions was even called "the best ever asked!" He showed me around, said I was exactly what they wanted, and would get back by Friday. I was so hyped! Then today, I got the rejection email. No reason given, just "went with someone else." Feels bad when your best isn't enough. Anyone else been there? How'd you cope?
