4 Tips to Help You Ace the Whiteboard Coding Interview In basic terms, the whiteboard interview is your shot at demonstrating how you apply your technical knowledge and inherent ability to solve a coding problem. The interviewer will ask you to use a whiteboard and marker to write out your lines of code while the panel watches you like a hawk and interjects with rapid fire questions about why you’re solving it a certain way and not another. Whiteboard coding is something that every software engineer fears, on at least some level. The problem itself is meant to be familiar and doable for anyone who is competent – coming up with algorithms to draw a circle on a grid, or how to find the longest palindrome in a string. The ever popular and easily beatable FizzBuzz test is one such example of a whiteboard problem, though its use has waned due to readily available solutions plastered all over the internet.
