So if you're brown, are the typical interview questions asked at big corporations like Cisco, PayPal, VMware are - what is a deadlock ? - what is thread safety ? - how does a hashmap work ? - what is static keyword ? - is string a mutable class ? - and all other h1b centric questions...... These are questions asked on the onsite, not a phone screen Do grads from Stanford , Berkeley , University of Michigan, CMU etc gets asked these questions ?
It’s been a few years since I have worked in java but I know the answer to these questions... I think they are quite reasonable
Grads from Stanford, Berkeley, and CMU do not apply to Cisco, Paypal, and VMware.
Depends on the team I guess. In my Paypal interview, I had 2 LC mediums out of 3 coding rounds.
I think there are just some very old-school companies out there. I have no first-hand knowledge of the specified companies. A while ago I interviewed at FLIR for a C# (and some VB.NET maintenance 🤢) role. The whole interview was like this. Everything was super corporate, clean/sanitary insane asylum office. Even the devs I saw were wearing button-downs tucked into their jeans. I declined that offer instantly. I had interviewed at the same time for a C++-heavy role at LogMeIn (GoToMeeting, etc) and this was exactly what the phone interview was like, but on-site was more like LC. I think if this is the interview bar it’s a fair indication for me personally to reject the offer. I want to know my colleagues at least know how to write code and not just what “static” means. That being said it may be more common to ask new grads this type of thing, but I was asked them as a potential industry hire at the mentioned companies.
Well, if you are going to write code, I definitely hope you know what static means and how to use them appropriately.
This post is stupid
These are really easy questions if you really write Java
What if you write c pointy?
These are the questions companies should really ask. Stuff we really deal with and makes our work challenging like handling race conditions, using hashmaps, making your code thread safe and such things. Leetcode type questions only test memory of the candidate while these actually test interest in computer science and experience. Asking such questions also tests your technical communication skills. So be happy companies with sane interview processes still exist.

At Airbnb questions are not dependent on the candidate’s background
These are good companies ! Got three offers coz the interviews were ez af
Agreed. They sound very easy compared to LC
