The original one was like "Most engineering interview questions of hot companies". My point was, very few companies are innovative for recruiting. Interview questions can be practiced, which only test a small subset of skills for software engineer position.

The original title was not "Software engineering interview questions" ... Administrator of hacker news changed it ...

This is how companies like google, facebook, and linkedin interview candidates. It's not effective, but it's the common practice

btw, this website is well-known among Chinese and Indian.

It's really really very hard to encounter an interview question that is not on this list nowadays, if you are interviewing with big name companies like linkedin, google, facebook ... It's more like preparing for final exam in college.

Sadly, each time I want to change job, I have to go through those questions again. No any company (or interviewer) would admit that they decide whether or not to extend an offer to you solely based on how well you solve those programming puzzles. But reality is, your "performance" during the interview session is oftentimes more important than your experience (e.g., your side projects. Even you can demo your projects in front of interviewers, they just don't care -- because they themselves joined the company in the same way -- solving programming puzzles)

If you practice ALL of these questions for at least TWO passes: https://oj.leetcode.com/problems/ , you can get a software engineer role in at least one of the famous tech companies, e.g., facebook, linkedin, google, amazon, microsoft, ...

Nowadays, very very few companies innovate in recruiting.

I've interviewed with most "hot" companies, and I can find most interview questions (>90%) from https://oj.leetcode.com/problems/, exact same question.
