Coding interview

A coding interview, programming interview or Microsoft interview is a technical problem-based job interview technique to assess potential employees. The technique was pioneered by Microsoft, and subsequently developed by other large technology companies including Amazon, Facebook, and Google. Coding interviews test candidates' technical knowledge, coding ability, problem solving skills, and creativity, typically on a whiteboard. Candidates usually have a degree in computer science, information science, computer engineering or electrical engineering, and are asked to solve programming problems, algorithms, puzzles. Coding interviews are typically conducted in-person or virtually.
