We manage the interview scheduling and supply potential questions. For technical questions, we'll also share hints, test cases, and the solution.

Each practice session is reciprocal: everyone takes turns as both the interviewee and interviewer.

Interviewing

: Each interview involves you and your partner interviewing each other for approximately 30 minutes each, making the entire session about an hour long.

You will be connected via a video call. For Data Structures & Algorithms, SQL, and Frontend interviews, you will solve your question using a collaborative code editor. For all other interview types, suggested questions will be offered before and during the session.

Interviewer and interviewee roles are randomly assigned at the start of the interview, and you switch halfway through.

While interviews typically last an hour, you will have access to the video call for up to two hours. The interview will automatically end after this period.
: It depends on the interview type you select.

For Data Structures & Algorithms, SQL, and Frontend interviews, your peer will be preassigned a coding question to ask you.

For all other interview types, suggested questions will be offered before and during the session. These questions come from our database, which includes real-world questions seen by candidates in recent interviews.
: It depends on the interview type you select.

For Data Structures & Algorithms, SQL, and Frontend interviews, you will be preassigned a coding question to ask your partner. Usually, you are assigned a question you've already seen on Exponent Practice, so that you are already familiar with the problem. We strongly suggest practicing the question before your interview.

For all other interview types, suggested questions will be offered before and during the session. These questions come from our database, which includes real-world questions seen by candidates in recent interviews. You are also welcome to bring your own question or ask your partner what they would like to practice!
: We prioritize your privacy.

Only your public display name will be shared with your partner. (Your public display name can be updated on your Account page.)

During and after the interview, you can choose to exchange information with your practice partner. Doing so is a great way to stay in touch and continue practicing together!

We recommend leaving video on, but you also have the option to conduct the interview with audio only.
: Return to this page up to ten minutes before your scheduled start time. When the waiting room is open, an option to join will appear.

We'll also send you an email reminders ten minutes before your interview.
: The Data Structures & Algorithms, SQL, and Frontend mock interview types include a built-in collaborative code editor.

Data Structures & Algorithms interviews support popular programming languages like Python, JavaScript, Java, Go, C++, C, C#, Ruby, and Swift. SQL interviews support PostgreSQL and SQLite. Frontend interviews are in JavaScript.

Troubleshooting

: Our video chat uses a peer-to-peer video connection, which directly connects peers.

This means most issues typically result from browser support, permissions, or an unstable internet connection.

Ensure your browser has permission to access your camera and microphone. Ensure your browser has given Exponent permission to access your camera and microphone. Confirm that your browser supports WebRTC.

Troubleshooting Tips

Try refreshing the page, but avoid clicking "End Session."
Ensure your browser has permission to access your camera and microphone.
Ensure your browser has given the Exponent website permission to access your camera and microphone.
Run a test to check your browser's WebRTC support.
If you have multiple cameras or microphones installed, your browser or operating system may be using the wrong one. Check and adjust if needed.
Close all browser windows and restart your browser application.
If another app or browser is using the camera, quit the application or restart your computer.
If your connection is slow, consider using a wired connection instead of WiFi.

If the above suggestions don't resolve your issue, please email us at [email protected]
: Yes, you can disable your video during calls. However, we recommend leaving it on to receive feedback on your soft skills!
: We require recent versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge. Other browsers may work, but we don't officially support them.
: We don't support mock interviewing on mobile devices. Many features in our mock interview tool are designed for desktop use.
