My recruiter let me know that I’ll be asked a “code review” question at my onsite coming up. Any insight as to where I can read about that?
Anybody here can share high level what they were asked? Sounds like this is a new thing and can’t find much online.

  • Pretty easy if the code being reviewed was written by your interviewer.. Just get a sense of your interviewer during the intros. Do you like them? If you worked with them how would you like them? Then, based on your thoughts on them, either reject the code or hit the green Approve. This is how I've been doing it at work for the last 5 years. Dont burn too much time deep diving into the code, because that time can be better spent watching YouTube vids after the PR merges and CD build jobs are running. These are the type of soft, time management skills we recruit for here at MC.

  • We've been hearing about it of late and some of us are shadowing these rounds too . May be it's a replacement for algo ds coding round specially for seniors like l5+ etc. being introduced . Frankly speaking I'd say take it , it's going to be much easier than solving lp medium hard in 45 minutes . No need to prepare special here , if you've been doing code reviews regularly for your teams then you should be good . Brush up your algo ds and optimisations because you'll have to catch logic bugs , efficiency issues and style guide issues , in that particular order . So prep just like you'll do for a regular coding round but you'll be expected to nitpick and fix someone else's code in an insightful way . All the best .

    I was wondering when FAANG companies start rolling out code review questions. Here we go.
