Interview types

1. Coding interviews

In the coding interviews, you typically get one or two algorithmic problems that you need to solve in about 45 to 60 minutes. You also need to code your solution in the programming language of your choice and discuss your solution with the interviewer.

For software engineers, coding interviews usually take the majority of the interview process and are by far the most important. A good performance here is the deciding factor for getting hired.

2. Behavioural interviews

Behavioural interviews take a look at your personality and work related history, and consider things like how you work in a team or how you handled challenging work situations in the past.

At these interviews you may get asked questions like "What was the most challenging project you worked on and why?" or "What was your biggest failure during the time at the company X?". Also, the interviewer may go through your resume and ask very detailed questions about your work experience and past projects.
