In this particular round, the candidate may receive a list of requirements and a skeleton code and would be asked to complete the code and submit it after completing the code in their own environment.
2
There may generally be 1 to 3 phone/ video interviews, typically on data structures and algorithms.
3
The questions in the on-site interviews are similar to the phone interview questions. In this final round, you will likely be coding on a whiteboard (a few companies like Snapchat may let you bring your own laptop to code on-site).
Let us look at some interview questions involving data structures (arrays, linked lists, trees, hash tables, queues, strings, etc.) and algorithms (search, sort, etc.). We will also look at some behavioral interview questions below.
1
Find the minimum (or maximum) element of an array.
Given a sorted array, return the index of a given value or -1 if the element cannot be found.
Merge two sorted lists.
Delete the node in a linked list.
Insert a node into a sorted doubly linked list.
Convert sorted array to binary search tree.
Convert sorted array to binary search tree.
Merge two binary trees.
Given the root of a binary tree, invert the tree, and return its root.
Count the number of subarrays having a given XOR.
Find whether an array is a subset of another array.
Implement stack using queues.
Remove all adjacent duplicates in the string.
Evaluate the value of an arithmetic expression in Reverse Polish Notation.
Compute the running median of a sequence of numbers. That is, given a stream of numbers, print out the median of the list so far after each new element.
Given an integer array nums and an integer k, return the kth largest element in the array.
2
Given an undirected graph, determine if it contains a cycle.
Given a reference of a node in a connected undirected graph, return a deep copy (clone) of the graph.
How many numbers are smaller than the current number.
Given an array of integers nums, sort the array in ascending order.
Given the head of a linked list, return the list after sorting it in ascending order.
Get maximum in the generated array.
Longest increasing subsequence.
Given n, calculate the Fibonacci sequence.

They should at least be skilled in one object-oriented programming language and know how to implement the principles of object-oriented design. They should also have good communication skills and should be able to communicate technical concepts.
What should a beginner software engineer do?
A beginner software engineer should aim to get really good at debugging, and code documentation, improve their programming skills, learn from the more experienced, and gain experience while learning.
Which language is the best for software engineers?
C++, Java, and Python are the most popular choices for programming languages among software engineers.
What qualities should a programmer have?
Problem-solving ability, creativity, curiosity to upskill and learn, patience, logical thinking, and self-discipline.
What are some rules new Software Engineers should try to follow?
Follow coding standards, avoid technical debt, use the resources and tools at your disposal, and gain clarity about the task required first and foremost.
