Interview questions by company — software engineer prep

Each company runs a different loop. Google grinds algorithms, Amazon front-loads behavioral, Stripe asks you to write production code. Picking the right prep strategy starts with knowing what's actually coming. Below is a per-company breakdown of process, top questions, and tips — pulled from public sources (Glassdoor patterns, engineering blogs, public values frameworks). Use the guides to map your study time, then practice the questions in an AI mock so you walk into the real round already calibrated.

How to use these guides

Open the guide for the company you're interviewing at. Skim the process section to map the timeline. Read the top 10 technical questions and check which ones you can answer cleanly in 3-5 minutes out loud — those are the ones you don't need to drill. The rest go on a one-week study list. Read the behavioral section and pre-write a story for each prompt (use STAR format). Then run two mock interviews using the same question style. Walk into the real loop already calibrated.

What's not on the list

We cover companies where the process is documented enough in public sources to write a useful guide. Closed-loop companies (most hedge funds, classified defense, parts of HFT) get short guides at best. We also avoid leaked-question lists — Glassdoor patterns are public; specific questions from active interviewers are not, and posting them gets candidates rescinded. The patterns and topic coverage in these guides are accurate; the exact wording you hear will differ.
