471 software eng interview questions shared by candidates

I didn't study Computer Science, nor did i study an Ivy League curriculum, so I think the coding questions that had to deal with more obscure topics were definitely more challenging. But if you're able to reason through things, i think that helps solve the interview question.

I didn't study Computer Science, nor did i study an Ivy League curriculum, so I think the coding questions that had to deal with more obscure topics were definitely more challenging. But if you're able to reason through things, i think that helps solve the interview question.

There were 3 45 minute interviews (1-2 people per interview from different departments) 1. Why BAE? What do you like about BAE? 2. Everything about RESUME & yourself. (Jobs at schools, previous intern, your courses, and what you liked and disliked). What have you done in a group or have you had any group projects and what did you do? Any problems and how did you solve? If programming languages listed, where did you use this, etc. Frameworks, "I see you have used Microsoft Visual Studio, are you familiar with debugging through it?" I see you used linux tell me about what type you used? Do you know commands in it or getting your way through it? Have you heard about commands grep or find? How do you usually debug program? Be yourself, this interview is not to trick you and rattle you through technical stuff. They understand that you have gone through these courses and that you have the ability to code or understand how to pick up new technologies and languages fast. They are trying to see if you fit the culture and if you can be a great team player! If you want, just be prepared with "technical questions" that other people posted on glassdoor if you really are scared. Like: 1) What is OOP? 2) What is polymorphism? 3) What is inheritance? 4) What are the 4 pillars of OOP? (Abstraction, Encapsulation, Polymorphism, Inheritance) One great thing about BAE as well is they get back to you whether you get accepted or rejected very fast! (3 days to 1 week)!

On-site interview: I was asked to write some user stories based on input from a 'product owner', then code it working in pair programming. The problem was that the pair was an engineer there that was not pairing with me but accessing me. I did everything by myself. When I asked for opinion, there was not much feedback. It was what Kent Beck recommends it not to be. Then you have to present what you did to the product owner. After this, there's an interview with lead software developers about Agile experience, Scum, ... What would you do in this situation? And this one? What do you do when you have a doubt? Do you google? Check Stack Overflow for suggestions? (Answer is no! You need to have people you aspire to and you'll check what they did - name a few ones). By the way, the challenge will be to do a sudoku game with a CLI. --> Think about software patterns, clean code, TDD(most important!!!) They will offer you flights, accommodation, lunch, a t-shirt and a tea cup.
