Software Engineer Principal Interview Questions

2,047 software engineer principal interview questions shared by candidates

The first interview lasted for an hour, and the questions were mostly around my current project, which I believe I explained well. There were also some detailed questions around networking layers, which is not exactly my forte. I believe the interview was good, maybe 7/10. The second interview was by a QA team lead. After a discussion on the my previous QA role, he gave me a file transfer scenario to a remote server, and asked me to write test cases around it, which I feel is pretty basic for a person of my experience. He was also probing on some python related problem solving. Overall I would rate this interview 6/10.
