# Big tech interviews

## Interview types

The most popular interview types at big tech companies are:

* Recruiter call
* Coding interview ([view our guide](https://docs.outtalent.com/guides/passing-interviews/coding-interviews))
* System design interview ([view our guide](https://docs.outtalent.com/guides/passing-interviews/system-design-interviews))

Less popular types of interviews include:

* Debugging (for example, at Stripe)
* Technical deep dive (for example, at Shopify)
* Pair programming

## Interview practice

We recommend doing tens of mock interviews on a peer-to-peer interview website called [Pramp](https://www.pramp.com/#/). If you are in the US then we highly recommend using [interviewing.io](https://interviewing.io/).
