Full Stack Engineer Interview Process at Tier-1 Companies
We prepare you for all stages of a typical Full Stack engineer interview process at FAANG and Tier-1 companies
Initial Technical Screening
A coding round and a discussion of your past full stack projects, at times. While discussing projects, conceptual questions on the full stack domain, frameworks used, etc., are asked.
Behavioral Round
Questions related to your job experience
Discussions on past projects
Open-ended questions to gauge if you're a "good fit"
Onsite: 4-6 Rounds
2-3 Coding Rounds:
Depending on the total years of experience, candidates go through 2-3 coding (DSA-based) rounds.
Full Stack/Web Fundamentals Round: Test for knowledge of Full Stack concepts. You’ll be asked to solve problems for different scenarios. This could be integrating with an existing API or looking for a bug in an existing codebase.
System Design Round:
For Full Stack roles at Tier 1 companies, there will usually either be a frontend or backend system design round. Depending on the role, the candidate may be allowed to choose.
Scalable System Design Round: General scalable architecture system design questions. This usually involves designing a scalable backend service with cloud architecture.
Full-stack System Design Round: The solution for the design problem is evaluated on performance, accessibility, and modularity. You may also be asked to develop certain features from scratch; a strong understanding of your choice of frameworks will come in handy here. This can be designing a UI that takes in data from an API and modifies it to display to the user.
