Article Software Engineer interview questions

First virtual interview with Hiring Manager: - Questions related to your experience listed on your resume - Technical questions based on the projects that you've worked on - Mostly discussion based interview Second virtual interview with 2 Senior Developers: - Basic tech stack related questions - Performance improvements related questions - Live coding exercise Overall had a very pleasant experience.

The interview was for an intermediate level position, but they asked the type of questions that you would expect for a junior position. Questions that we all understand the answer to but have the forgotten the exact definition of as we have been out of school for so long. Talking in generalities wasn't good enough. If you couldn't remember the exact definition of concept X from your 3rd year CS class, they got annoyed. There were very few questions about software development in general. The types of questions they focused on were very specific to their line of business. Those are fair questions, but they couldn't see how someone with experience outside of that domain could still be an asset to their team.
