What type of questions can I expect in a 1 hour HackerRank session for a principal position. Any favorite category of recent interviewers?
If it is Sunnyvale, expect your onsite to be canceled due to non availability of parking and desk space. Don’t waste your time. I was asked a question about searching on a rotated array.
In all honesty, if it's for software engineering, I'd expect three areas: 1) soft skills, i.e. do I want to work with this person? (kindness, etc) 2) can this person code or are they all talk (algorithms, problem solving, cs fundamentals) and 3) does this person show signs of a solid grasp on their core skill (system design/op.ex., or application design, or data science, etc.) The bar is basically "is it worth bringing this person on site to meet with key people on the team for more detailed discussions"
Reverse a linked list, fizz buzz, and why manhole covers are round
Is that a joke ?
