All You Need To Know About Behavioral Interviews (for software engineers)

What is a software engineer behavioral interview? What are examples of behavioral interview questions and answers? What do tech companies like Google, Amazon, and Facebook look for in behavioral interviews? This video has everything you need to know about behavioral interviews in software engineering.

A nice tip is to maintain a doc containing one liner pointers so stories that happen to you and can be used as examples in future interview and update it from time to time, cause it's not easy to reflect back and find all those stories months or years after they happen.

Google tests for humility? That's awesome because I am very humble. Probably the most humblest person in the world.

Hours before interview I am watching this...😂

[ooow]

Great content! I totally agree that we need to well prepared and never underestimate these behavioral questions. I once got reject by Amazon despite passing all the coding challenges, simply because I didn't prepare for the behavioral questions. And last tip is so helpful. I used to feel awkward if I couldn't answer immediately. Now I know the strategy! Thanks Clem:)!

Going through a coding bootcamp now and this information pretty much compliments what we learned for it as of last week. Good stuff.

I'm approaching my one year mark using AlgoExpert. This platform helped me get the job I'm at now, but you know what? I'm going to renew anyway. Keep up the hard work!

It's hilarious when I'm literally watching a Clem video explanation on algoexpert and then I get a notification for the Clem YouTube video

*Clem*, *you* show great creativity in advertising your company unlike others,
Every time I watch your video I am very curious in knowing how did you advertise your brand in that ...😁😆😆😆

Hey Clèment, really great job breaking down the underlying principles and motivation behind the Behavioral Interviews in big tech companies. Also, the tip about not going crazy about incorporating the most complex cases from my experience made my life easier ;)

BehavioralExpert when?

Edit: the moment I posted this, you did the ad in the video. This is uncanny

Watching this just an hour before an interview. Very helpful, thanks.

Hi Clement,
Love your videos - bought algoexpert + systemsexpert recently (great content), so really excited about this new free content which will help me to prepare further.
Quick question, imagine you were already a software developer, shy of 1 year of experience (still working so still learning at work), however you do not have a CS degree, but a different strong STEM (Physics) degree from a top school.
Would you say that solving all of the questions (well, struggling through them) and having covered the crash course on DS&A & CTCI is sufficient to prepare for the interviews with FAANGs, or would you recommend digging deep into studying DS&A and CS basics as well? If the later, do you have any resources/any particular topics you would advise covering?

It was not the "phone skit" that made me chuckle....but it was your way of demanding a like from us!😂😂
Great Video !
