Senior Software Engineer Interviews

Senior Software Engineer Interview Questions

"Senior software engineers are the most experienced member of a software team and usually carry the most responsibility and authority of that team. Because of this, interviews will be designed to find candidates who have expert knowledge of the field and years of experience as a software engineer. Expect to be asked tough technical questions and to give examples of previous projects that you have worked on."

The two people who interviewed me are not proficient in English. I don't think they speak English regularly. I'm not a native English speaker but I have native proficiency in English. These guys struggled to understand what I was saying and I also struggled to understand what they were asking. An example is this question they asked me, "When you open IntelliJ and you click the Spring button, what happens?". After going back and forth with them, I finally figured they wanted to ask, "How does Spring Boot startup?". This would have been a straight forward question had it been asked by a proficient English speaker. My advice is they have people proficient in English interviewing, or at least have a proficient/native English speaker go through the interview questions. Ignoring the bad English, the interview questions were actually quite interesting and fairly challenging.

about myself regarding education and experience, questions were related to overall experience and was more kind of practical (according to me) which made more sense to me because the more your experience its more practical to know ones approach towards work, integrated, focused, and yes of course the relevant technical skills
