665,356 software engineer 2 interview questions shared by candidates

There was for instance a basic coding challenge interview at the start. But a thing I'll mention is, for a high-level company like FB, there was an odd obsession with basics, when people don't work that way -- it's not that it's irrelevant, it's better to be solid than not, but it's a tiny piece of the puzzle that's gating prospective hires. It was strange to not be asked the types of questions that would indicate actual capacity to innovate, manage, etc. I would have only done that kind of challenge for maybe a fresh graduate, not someone who's done real work.

You have two methods: one method takes long time to run and the other completes in short time. You execute the long method first and after that you execute the short method. Which one will complete first. There is no setTimeout involved.
