3,327 entry programmer interview questions shared by candidates

2.5 hour peer coding session. They send you the project description ahead of the interview. In my case it was to design a simple website that calls an external api and to display the data. During the call you're given a brief 15 minute introduction and if you have any questions. After that you're given 1 hour to complete the project. The rest of the time is spent with the engineers asking you about your design choices and thought process. Similar to a code review.

The asynchronous interview portal had quite a few questions. On the personal side, they asked me a lot of questions about how I handled problems in the past related to coding and working in a team. There was 5 questions in total. They mostly conformed to what you'd typically expect from an interview; classic interview questions. The coding section of the asynchronous interview portal had 2 questions. You had 30 min to solve each. 1 was a fairly simple problem that really tested to see if you knew the basics. The second problem was on the level of a hard easy question on leetcode, or an easy medium question. Very doable. The phone interview was more about my background and experiences.
