How difficult is Square interview. i have heard it is different from other companies. Do they ask leetcode and do they ask system design. where would interview difficulty rank among Faang. Same difficulty as amazon or higher? TC 150k YOE: 1
Greatest interview experience ever. They will kindly do pair coding with you for every coding session. They really mean that. So they will “help” you during the process. The System design question is told before interview.
I interviewed recently at square and had a pleasant experience. Like two sigma said, it's mostly pair programming and they don't ask crazy leetcode hard questions. The interviewers are very friendly and will give you enough context to reason through the problems. My system design interview didn't go well but the interviewer was *much* more senior than me, so I think there was some bias there. Happy to answer any other questions you have about the process.
Square interviews are the most fun I’ve ever had being rejected
lololol
Their interviews are just similar to LC Medium just that they carefully divide it into 2-3 steps. Interviewer didn't really help me so the 'pair programming' is just a branding of the same old interview process. One of the questions I was asked in the second interview had tedious 2d matrix operations which I don't think tests anything and not suitable for a phone interview.
Hi. I have SE interview coming up at Square. Could you please tell me how can I prepare for coding round
CN someone elaborate on the pair programming part? Thanks
Square interview was my favorite I've ever had. Pair programming for me was adding features to my Android app I did instead of phone interview.
Can you please shed more light on your Android interview there? I'm in the same position and can really use some pointers? Which location was that? What all would you suggest preparing for if time wasn't of constraint?
I had the most pleasant experience; they offered me two paths: regular code pair with algorithms questions for remote and onsite OR code assignment, and in the one site would be to extend and add features to the same code assignment. I chose the assignment, but overall everyone involved was super nice and friendly.
Agreed
Years of experience? And do they offer everyone code assignment?
How is the interview process for Sr. frontend engineer? Do they give you option to do take home code assignment?
Hands on coding I think
