Axon technical interview (C#, 60 min) — what should I expect / how to prep?
Hi all — I just moved to the final technical round for a SWE role at Axon. Recruiter details:
- 60-minute live coding interview over Zoom, with one of their engineers
- Language: C#
- Focus: "real-time problem-solving and technical thinking," core CS fundamentals (DSA)
- They mentioned it's a two-way interview — collaborative culture, encouraged to think out loud and ask questions
A bit about me: I'm a CS student about to graduate, decent with DSA concepts but not super sharp on execution speed, and I don't code in C# day-to-day (more comfortable in Python/Java/JS), so I'm brushing up on C#-specific syntax too.
Would appreciate any insight on:
- Has anyone interviewed with Axon (or know their engineering interview style)? What kind of problems came up?
- For a 60-min slot, is it usually 1 harder problem or 2 medium ones?
- Any C#-specific gotchas people got tripped up on during live coding (LINQ syntax, nullable types, etc.)?
- Tips for "thinking out loud" effectively without rambling or looking indecisive?
Any help/insight is much appreciated — trying to make sure I don't blow this one. Thanks!
