3,321 software engineer graduate interview questions shared by candidates

Coding Assessment was two questions in two hours. The questions were similar to, but not the exact same as: 1. Find min number of moves needed for knight on chess board to move to target square 2. Implement custom stack with getMin() method in O(1) time. Video Interview gave you ~8 questions to answer in about ~45s each. Sample questions include: 1. What is one weakness you have 2. Is O(1) time algorithm the fastest 3. Can signed and unsigned integers store the same number of values 4. Describe a specific data structure to a non-technical person
