Pair programming, 60 minutes
Live coding · 60 min · From the company
You and an interviewer solve a practical problem together on HackerRank, turning a problem statement into working code. Wise’s backend is mostly Java, but you can usually use the language you know best. There is no system design, riddles or deep dive into your background in this round.

System design, about an hour
System design · 60 min · From the company
Two Wise engineers give you a product problem and ask for a high-level architecture, then go into lower-level details such as data structures. You work on an online collaborative whiteboard, in an office or over video.

Engineering product round
Panel interview · From the company
A 45 to 60 minute conversation with one or two people from other teams, usually led by a product manager and sometimes including designers or analysts. It looks at your product mindset and how you work across functions. Wise says it is a discussion, not a test.

A course built around 75 coding interview questions chosen for coverage across 18 topic areas, from arrays and sliding window to graphs, backtracking, dynamic programming and tries. Each question has a step-by-step algorithm, a walkthrough and complexity analysis, with solutions in six languages. It suits candidates with a few weeks before an interview who need a balanced, finite problem set rather than an endless list.

A free newsletter of short, focused posts on system design and problem solving, from the team behind the Grokking courses. Recent posts cover company interview processes (such as OpenAI and Anthropic roles), the most asked mobile system design questions and preparation plans, each linking to a fuller article on the blog. It suits engineers who want a steady, low-effort way to keep system design and interview topics fresh between deeper study sessions.

The second volume of Grokking the System Design Interview, aimed at senior and staff (L5/L6) design rounds. It works through harder case studies such as a payment system, flash sale, notification service, unique ID generator, Gmail, Reddit, Google Calendar and a code judging system, then goes beneath them with patterns like quorum, write-ahead logs and vector clocks and deep dives into Dynamo, Cassandra, Kafka, Chubby, HDFS, GFS and BigTable.

A very large site of articles on data structures, algorithms and core CS subjects such as operating systems, DBMS, computer networks and OOP, usually with code in several languages, plus practice problems and paid courses. It is handy for revising a university topic or finding a worked example of a specific algorithm. Quality varies because much is community written, so cross-check anything surprising against a textbook or official documentation.
- DSA
- CS fundamentals
- Databases
An eight-stage roadmap through the core CS subjects: how a computer runs a program, OOP and design, operating systems, computer networks, database theory and internals, software engineering and theory, finished with a systems project such as a shell, an HTTP server or a tiny database. It suits CS students and self-taught developers filling the same gaps, and favours understanding shown in working code over memorised answers.
