Contributing

Thanks for helping keep the 2026 Tech OA tracker current. The repo is useful only if reports are specific, source-safe, and easy to verify.

What To Submit

Good submissions include one or more of the following:

  • A newly seen Online Assessment or interview question.
  • A correction to a company name, question title, practice link, or update date.
  • A missing FastPrep practice link for an existing row.
  • A stale or duplicate row that should be reviewed.

Submission Checklist

When opening an issue, include:

  • Company name.
  • Role, location, and recruiting season if known.
  • Question title or a short source-safe summary.
  • Date seen.
  • Source context, such as public post, candidate report, or your own anonymized experience.
  • FastPrep problem link if one already exists.

The Format column and format-specific pages are maintained from FastPrep's public, candidate-safe catalogs. System design, low-level design/OOD, and AI coding catalog entries are reconciled into the table automatically every hour. Explicit metadata wins; legacy /problems/ routes that predate the public catalog use the coding workspace's Coding fallback. Please do not guess a format from a title or company.

Please do not submit confidential screenshots, private recruiter messages, account-only assessment pages, or full proprietary problem statements. A short summary is enough for maintainers to verify the report and create a practice-safe entry.

How Updates Are Reviewed

Maintainers check whether the report is specific, plausible, and safe to publish. Once verified, the README table should be updated with the company, question link, practice link, and update date. Then refresh dates and regenerate the Format column, links, and filtered pages:

python3 scripts/refresh-freshness.py
python3 scripts/sync-practice-formats.py
python3 scripts/sync-practice-formats.py --check

The catalog sync uses only public fields such as route, title, company, sighting date, and practice format. It does not export source URLs, answers, evaluator content, or restricted assessment material.

Prefer one issue per company/question so each report can be tracked independently.

Corrections

For corrections, link the current README row and explain the exact change needed. Examples:

  • Broken practice link.
  • Typo in the question title.
  • Duplicate question row.
  • Incorrect company attribution.
