Company interview guides¶
60 full guides (process, online assessment, rounds, behavioral, reported questions, most asked problems) and 94 more question lists. Pick your target companies, then follow the 4-week plan at the bottom of each guide.
How to use a company page¶
- Finish a core list first: problem lists. Company lists are the last 20% of prep, not the first 80%.
- Read the process and online assessment sections so nothing surprises you.
- Solve the most frequent problems top to bottom, then the signature problems.
- Prepare behavioral stories for that company's framework.
- Check the reported questions a week before your interview.
FAANG¶
| Company | New grad level | Online assessment | Problems tagged (6 months) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon | SDE I (L4). US posting example: 'Software Development Engineer - 2026 (US)'. | Amazon's proctored online assessment (the SDE II OA page says to 'get comfortable coding within HackerRank'; the university OA page has a webcam section in its FAQ). The 2026 AI-assisted task runs in a provided repository environment with an in-tool AI assistant. | 771 |
| Apple | ICT2 ('Junior Software Engineer' on Levels.fyi). Posting titles seen in 2025 to 2026 reports: 'Software Engineer, IS&T Early Career' (US, Aug 2026) and 'Junior Software Engineer' (India, for freshers, Aug 2025). | Varies by team: CoderPad link or HackerRank-style assessment; many US teams skip the OA and start with a recruiter or hiring manager screen | 84 |
| L3 (Software Engineer II, 'SWE II'). Postings say 'Software Engineer, Early Career' (US) or 'Software Engineer, University Graduate' (India). Levels.fyi: 'L3 / T3 is the new grad software engineering role at Google'. | Google Hiring Assessment (online workstyle questionnaire) for most applicants; coding OA on HackerRank, Codility or Google's internal platform for some roles and campuses | 825 | |
| Meta | E3 (IC3), posted as 'Software Engineer, University Grad' or similar; Production Engineer new grad is a separate track. | CodeSignal (proctored: webcam, microphone, screen share) | 404 |
| Netflix | L3. Simplify says Netflix introduced an explicit engineering ladder in 2024 (reported as E1 to E7, or L3 to L7 on Levels.fyi) and now runs a real New Grad Program; the entry rung is E1/L3. | CodeSignal (2025 to 2026 student reports; Aced). Official pages call this step a 'take-home assessment'. | 7 |

New grads join the 12-month Grad++ program. | HackerRank (India 2026-grad internship drive screenshot); an Atlassian-branded timed IDE with sections was used for the 2027-grad OA (Aug 2026). UK graduate track started with psychometric tests (Sep 2026). | 5 |
| Cisco | Grade 4 (Levels.fyi: Software Engineer 1, the entry level; US Grade 4 reports typically have 1 to 2 years). India: Code with Cisco and campus hires land at G4 (about ₹14.5L base); top PPO and IIT offers come in at G6. | HackerRank | 4 |

India campus/intern hiring uses an online test; US and experienced candidates go straight to a CoderPad phone screen. | 45 | |
| Microsoft | 59 or 60 (IC2, title Software Engineer; Levels.fyi shows 59 as 'SDE' and 60 as the next step).
