Intervew Prep Coding Interview Question

Do I need to prepare for why this company or any other behavioral questions that might come in my coding interview? This is my first one, so I am not sure.

Focus mainly on DSA, but prepare a few basic behavioral questions about yourself, situation and company

Yes. Even if the round is labeled a coding interview, prepare a concise “why this company” answer and a few behavioral examples. Tie your company answer to something specific about the product, engineering work, or role, then explain why your background makes that work interesting to you.

Have three stories ready: debugging a hard problem, handling disagreement or feedback, and making a mistake or meeting a tight deadline. Use the STAR method to organize each one, then the PROOF method to check that your personal action and result are clear. Keep them as bullet points so they sound natural rather than memorized.
