Lead Software Engineer Interview Questions

3,730 lead software engineer interview questions shared by candidates

The interview topics themselves were standard senior engineering questions around coding, system design, and technical discussions. I do not think it is appropriate to share detailed interview content publicly, and there was nothing unusually different compared to similar tech company interview processes.

HR asked "what brought you here to us today." Didn't really want to accept the response of "found job online, did a little research, came to interview" - like s/he was expecting some grand story about how I loved my GE dishwasher as a child and have been yearning to work at GE all my life and kept probing for more. Some things are really very straight forward.
