# Mastering The FAANG Coding Interview: How The Grading System Works?

Do you know how FANG grades coding interviews for software engineers?\
How does the grading system work in FANG?\
What are the grading standards in Google?\
Also it's not enough to solve the problem; you also need to pay attention to other important factors:

* Questions clarifications
* Upfront estimation and options
* Edge cases and exceptions
* Sub functions and main function
* Test cases
* Time and space complexity
* Optimization
* Bug-free coding
* Miscellaneous
  1. coding style
  2. naming
  3. comments
  4. typing
  5. logical and maintainable

\
Additionally, some companies have their own special rounds or focuses. For example:

* Amazon, Uber like to interview the lower level design.
* TikTok and Amazon may present difficult OA questions.
* Certain small/mid-sized companies may focus on hands-on API development.
* Some companies are highly selective when it comes to making hiring decisions, such as Snowflake and TikTok.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://book.aonecode.com/faang/mastering-the-faang-coding-interview-how-the-grading-system-works.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
