Junior Software Engineer Interview Questions

7,237 junior software engineer interview questions shared by candidates

after reading reviews from Glassdoor, i was expecting OOO concepts and coding in any language. But i was surprised to C questions. i was prepared to code in Java if it was required. I know C but for coding i was prepared to use Java. but i think interviewer was interested in C/C++. I wish had brushed up C/C++ before interview. usually in any interviews we have the freedom to use any coding language.

- HR call: has common questions ( = what are your objectives, ) but not the annoying ones ( I wasn't asked what are my drawbacks or my totem animal). It's a really two way exchange so they really tell about the company and are open to any kind of question. - Technical : java snippet to complete. 1H long homework, really basic in the problem (just implement a computation ) but good code quality and specialized code is expected. Environment of the snippet is multi-thread.

All of the technical interviews were digging deep and I received a fair grilling. With that in mind, there were no unreasonable questions, so it was all justified. Thankfully, a heavy focus on SWE-type questions, rather than algorithmic or language-specific. The usual stuff of "How would you design X system?", or "How can you improve this code?". A lot of describing old projects as well.
