Sr Software Engineer Interview Questions

71,676 sr software engineer interview questions shared by candidates

During the coding interview, I was tasked with implementing a small yet practical tool; a tool I believe many people might have looked for and installed for its purpose. While I did experience moments of nervousness where I momentarily paused, the interviewer was kind and supportive, allowing me to complete the implementation successfully. After the initial coding, we discussed optimizations, and I then proceeded to optimize the solution. It appeared to me that the interviewer was satisfied with my implementation. After the interview, I reviewed my approach and found it to be in line with standard practices. I believe my optimization strategies were also correct. However, I did not pass the interview. I would have understood if my performance was evidently lacking, but I was puzzled as it was unclear what the interviewer found insufficient in my work. In conclusion, while the content of the coding interview was not particularly challenging, securing a positive outcome felt quite difficult.
