Pattern in Swe interview@ big tech

I am actively giving interviews these days and one common pattern i see for big tech like MSF or WAlmart or golman, tesco Even if you soln is fine and completed you might rejected for Coding problems due to

  • you solved too quickly
  • you solved but took time and used some debugging
  • You solved but you didn’t knew the other way interviewer have seen
  • Fully observation based, code running is must
  • somehow your interviewer is smart then you you’ll be rejected for sure. ( here smart is subjective***)

Pls comment out your experience!!

Yes I agree with you @FineReason This has been my experience as well at fairly senior levels. Also the interviewers seem to focussed on doing an exact match on solutions rather than look at fundamentals or first principles thinking. Its almost like the interview is trying hard not to hire you and you have to break him.

It’s an elimination process since there are way too many applicants at these companies

I saw this rejection in a standup interview in offsite with an interviewer.
