Are developer job interviews always hard?<\/em><\/p>\n

In a word…Yes. Depending of course on the size of the company; massive companies tend to give intense (technical) interviews. “They’ll throw everything at you including the kitchen sink…They have\u00a0 HR departments where they’re ticking off boxes, and there’s a tendency in those circumstances that they’re going to ask you for everything.”<\/p>\n

Conversely, smaller businesses “…tend to be more accurate in terms of what the requirements that are stated for the job are, relative to the actual job.” Chances are the ‘iron curtain’ may be pulled back and you’ll even get to talk to the lead developer right away and then you can ask and be asked questions in a little less formal setup…<\/p>\n

That being said, there really is no limit to the stuff you could be asked (as we’ll explain in the video), no matter the size of the company. A lot of the testing may not even really be applicable to what you do, for example they may want to test your knowledge of deep algorithms, even of you’re going to be working with a simple\/clean code.<\/p>\n

All-in-all, it’s not uncommon. In this video we’ll break down some suggestions for making sure you’re not too caught by surprise and even have a little bit of company knowledge to surprise your interviewers with. As we’ve said before know your fundamentals<\/span> and you’ll always have an idea of what’s going on.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
