Senior Programmer Interview Questions

4,079 senior programmer interview questions shared by candidates

This was the best assessment of programming ability in an interview that I have encountered so far (and I have been in a lot of interviews). They took examples of bad code that they had found (and fixed) in their own code base. They asked me to spot the problem and propose a fix. There were a few standard C#/MVC/SQL questions but not many. Also an exercise in recoding some LINQ code to not use LINQ (once again a specific situation that they had actually encountered).

The most difficult question was one the interviewers were then struggling with. They were trying to integrate branched codebases in different states for a premature release. I worked with the panel and walked through several possible solutions only to find none worked.
