60,942 systems engineer interview questions shared by candidates

I cannot go into specifics, but the questions were all very reasonable for the subject area. The common thread was that practically all questions were asked in an open ended manner, which I believe weeds out fakers and also helps to glean your personality and communication skills. I would also commend the interviewers ability to be personable and helpful. When I had to remember some academic information, I was never punished for forgetting minutiae, they would always give a nudge in the right direction. Some might argue Google leans on the CS academia questions to heavily, whereas I would say Jane Street definitely seems to be more interested in general intelligence and applicable knowledge relative to the role. I have the upmost respect for their procedure.

Interview consisted of a mix of behavioural, situational, hypothetical and open ended questions. Informal and casual approach. Seemed 'off the cuff' and not following interview guide or set of standard questions. No structure or flow to the interview questions either.
