Question for the FAANG or unicorn companies: What do you have with you during on-site coding interviews? Do you just have a whiteboard or paper? Can you use an IDE? Can you use your personal library of code snippets? Can you search the net for basic syntax? Assuming for Senior+ level, not new grad.
What about phone interviews? Anything you keep open or next to you?
You can do whatever you want in phone interviews. However if I hear clicks from your keyboard and mouse I'm immediately going to get turned off. It's also easy to tell if you're cheating (long delays between questions, non organic responses, etc)
So no red cherry mx. In your phone interviews, do you not use full screen capture of the interviewee? Or facial video
Just the whiteboard. In some offices recently they started offering chromebooks with very basic text editor in case you prefer typing over writing on a whiteboard, but typing is basically the only thing you can do in it, no internet, no shell, no IDE
Whatever you want — even your favorite search engine!
Airbnb was laptop only for coding. Google is whiteboard but you can opt for coding in google docs
Whiteboard, pen, paper
