Engineer Interview Questions

934,886 engineer interview questions shared by candidates

There was for instance a basic coding challenge interview at the start. But a thing I'll mention is, for a high-level company like FB, there was an odd obsession with basics, when people don't work that way -- it's not that it's irrelevant, it's better to be solid than not, but it's a tiny piece of the puzzle that's gating prospective hires. It was strange to not be asked the types of questions that would indicate actual capacity to innovate, manage, etc. I would have only done that kind of challenge for maybe a fresh graduate, not someone who's done real work.

First interviewer asked about potential scenarios to test APIs. Many follow-up questions based on my answers. Next interviewer, asked me to draw object-oriented design for a given animal hierarchy. Then, write code to find if the given coordinates are part of the four corners of a rectangle. Next, flip two dimensional array. Bar raiser asked many questions about i18n, testing web services etc. Behavioral questions such as examples of situations where you had conflicts with the idea of the majority of the team, approach when you find bugs after release etc were raised in each interview.
