Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
I applied through a university recruiter.
I received an online assessment a week after, which was a medium-level HackerRank question.
After that, I had two back-to-back technical interviews on Skype.
The first one was medium-level, but the second one was hard.
I would recommend people spend more time on graph theories and searching/traversal algorithms.
I did not get to the last round, but the overall experience was great.
