Tool Designer Interview Questions

738 tool designer interview questions shared by candidates

I was asked a lot of questions about how I would troubleshoot a given problem, improve a given design, approach a given situation, or implement a given thing. I was also given one assignment to complete a set of tasks on unix and two coding assignments. Each assignment was limited to one hour. The goal of the first coding assignment was to build a 4-page web app that took input from the user and interacted with a data store. The goal of the second coding assignment was to analyze web server logs and find the most popular path.
