Are you interviewing for a software engineer role?
Are you worried about paired programming exercises?
Here's what I look for in candidates during these exercises π
- How are you communicating your thoughts
- How clear is your communication
- How friendly are you, would the team enjoy working with you
- How much do you contribute ideas, and how receptive are you to feedback or new ideas
- Did you ask clarifying questions and made sure you understood the problem
- Did you come up with test cases or unit tests
- How natural does coding come to you
- How much do you have to Google, and how quickly were you able to find what you were looking for
