Boeing Coding Round

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

• with recursions
• without recursion

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.

Then he asked multiple questions on this. Read the Fibonacci series tutorial for code and answers to all the questions.

You have to explain each and every detail of your code including the complexity.

After that, there was one technical interview.

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.

If you are not familiar with the structured interview round, don’t worry. Boeing HR will share one document with you which includes detail about the structured interview. Form this you will learn the type of questions they can ask you.

In this interview, they will ask you some behavioral questions. To answer each of the structured interview questions, you have to describe-

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.
