What top companies are looking for in a great remote technical interview

The ABCs of successful engineering candidates
March 08, 2022

Today’s interview candidates go through a rollercoaster ride when it comes to online technical interviews.

A typical round lasts for about 60 minutes while the candidate tackles hot and cold questions from the interviewer. While growing my team ten times its size in the last few months, I realized a lot of great candidates get rejected in interviews not because of their technical ability, but because of their inability to correlate the answers with the interviewer’s context, and understand what companies are looking for.

Thanks to the pandemic, offices have gone remote, we have fluid working hours, and the demand for top engineering talent is at its peak.
