460 software eng interview questions shared by candidates

On-site interview: I was asked to write some user stories based on input from a 'product owner', then code it working in pair programming. The problem was that the pair was an engineer there that was not pairing with me but accessing me. I did everything by myself. When I asked for opinion, there was not much feedback. It was what Kent Beck recommends it not to be. Then you have to present what you did to the product owner. After this, there's an interview with lead software developers about Agile experience, Scum, ... What would you do in this situation? And this one? What do you do when you have a doubt? Do you google? Check Stack Overflow for suggestions? (Answer is no! You need to have people you aspire to and you'll check what they did - name a few ones). By the way, the challenge will be to do a sudoku game with a CLI. --> Think about software patterns, clean code, TDD(most important!!!) They will offer you flights, accommodation, lunch, a t-shirt and a tea cup.

I didn't study Computer Science, nor did i study an Ivy League curriculum, so I think the coding questions that had to deal with more obscure topics were definitely more challenging. But if you're able to reason through things, i think that helps solve the interview question.
