Boeing Coding Round
The interviewer asked me to write a Fibonacci series with three different conditions,

There was a big whiteboard in the meeting room. You have to write a program in any programming language you are comfortable with. I choose Python.

After a few days, I got a call from Boeing HR. They shortlisted my profile for further structural interview. As I was not in Bangalore, they arrange a telephonic interview.

Describe a time when you were working on a team project and you had to motivate your teammates to
accomplish their tasks. What was the situation? What was your role? How did you overcome the problem? What was the outcome?
Be ready with all these interview questions in advance. So you don’t need to think much about it during the interview.
