Staff Software Engineer Interview Questions

2,608 staff software engineer interview questions shared by candidates

I signed NDA so I won't share the detail. Before pair programming, I shared my proposal with the interviewer. He agreed and said go ahead to do that. But apparently he wasn't comfortable with my approach later on. I got the solution to work, but I was told that my solution is not working. Nothing I can do to argue other than telling the recruiter that was incorrect statement. I understand it's hard to stay being objective in the interview process.
