Frequently Asked Questions

interviews.study is an AI-powered mock interview platform designed to help software engineers prepare for technical interviews at top tech companies like Google, Meta, Amazon, Apple, and more. We offer coding, system design, and behavioral interview practice with real-time AI feedback.

Our AI interviewer is powered by advanced language models that simulate a real interviewer. It asks contextual follow-up questions based on your responses, probes your thinking process, and adapts to your answers just like a human interviewer would. After each session, it provides detailed feedback on your performance.

We offer 3 free interviews to help you get started - no credit card required. This allows you to experience all three interview types and see if the platform is right for you before upgrading to a premium plan for unlimited access.

We offer three types of interviews: Coding (60 minutes with a live code editor supporting 5 languages), System Design (45 minutes with an interactive whiteboard/diagramming canvas), and Behavioral (30 minutes using the STAR framework for structured storytelling).

Our platform is designed to prepare you for interviews at top tech companies including Google, Meta, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Netflix, and Stripe. We also offer company-specific preparation tracks that focus on each company's unique interview style and expectations.

Session lengths match real interview formats: Coding interviews are 60 minutes, System Design interviews are 45 minutes, and Behavioral interviews are 30 minutes. These durations reflect what you'll experience in actual tech interviews.

Currently, interviews run continuously once started to simulate real interview conditions. We recommend ensuring you have uninterrupted time before starting a session. You can leave an interview early if needed, but you'll need to start a new session to continue practicing.

We support JavaScript, Python, Java, C++, and Go for coding interviews. You can select your preferred language when starting a coding session, and the editor provides syntax highlighting, auto-completion, and real-time code execution.

Camera is optional but recommended. Using your camera helps simulate the real interview experience where you'd typically be on a video call with your interviewer. It also allows you to review your body language and presentation when watching session recordings.

Each interview type offers three difficulty levels: Easy (great for beginners or warm-ups), Medium (balanced challenge, recommended starting point), and Hard (advanced problems similar to senior-level interviews). We recommend starting with Medium to gauge your current level.

Our scenarios are based on real interview questions from top tech companies. The AI interviewer behaves like a real interviewer - asking clarifying questions, pushing back on assumptions, and evaluating your problem-solving process, not just your final answer.

After completing an interview, our AI analyzes your entire session including your responses, code quality (for coding interviews), communication style, and problem-solving approach. You receive an overall score, category-specific scores, key strengths, areas for improvement, and curated study resources.

Scores are based on multiple factors: Technical Accuracy (correctness of your solution/answers), Communication (clarity of explanations), and Problem Solving (approach and methodology). Each category is scored from 1-10, and we provide an overall composite score along with detailed explanations.

Yes! All your completed interviews are saved in your dashboard. You can review the full transcript, your code submissions with syntax highlighting, system design diagrams, video recordings (if enabled), and the complete feedback at any time.

Feedback is typically generated within 30-60 seconds after completing your interview. The AI analyzes your entire session to provide comprehensive, personalized feedback. You'll see a loading indicator while it's being generated.

Based on your performance, we provide curated links to relevant learning materials including video tutorials, documentation, practice problems, and courses. These are specifically chosen to address the areas where you need the most improvement.

The Job Roadmap Generator creates a personalized preparation plan based on a specific job posting. Paste a job URL or description, set your target interview date, and our AI generates a day-by-day study plan with focus areas, practice recommendations, and curated resources tailored to that role.

These are curated preparation paths for specific companies like Google, Meta, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft. Each track focuses on that company's unique interview style, common question types, and evaluation criteria to help you prepare more effectively.

The Progress Dashboard shows your performance trends over time with interactive charts. You can track your overall scores, category-specific improvements (technical accuracy, communication, problem solving), and see how you're progressing across different interview types.

STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action, Result - a framework for structuring behavioral interview responses. Our behavioral interview workspace guides you through each component, helping you craft compelling stories that demonstrate your skills and experiences effectively.

Yes! Our system design interviews include an interactive whiteboard/diagramming canvas where you can draw architecture diagrams, flowcharts, and system components. The AI interviewer can see your designs and provide feedback on your architectural decisions.

We recommend using the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge for the best experience. The code editor and diagramming tools are optimized for modern browsers on desktop devices.

While the site is responsive, we strongly recommend using a desktop or laptop for interview practice. Coding and system design interviews require the full editor and canvas experience. Mobile is fine for viewing your dashboard, progress, and past feedback.

No installations required! interviews.study runs entirely in your browser. Just sign up, log in, and start practicing. We recommend allowing microphone access for the best interview simulation experience.

The code editor runs your code in a secure sandbox environment. We may request microphone access if you want to practice verbalizing your thought process, which is important for real interviews where communication is key.

You can upgrade to premium from your dashboard. Premium gives you unlimited interview sessions, access to all company-specific tracks, the job roadmap generator, and priority feedback generation.

You can cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings. Your access will continue until the end of your current billing period, and you'll retain access to all your past interview data.
