Software Developer Intern Interview Experience - Sydney, Australia
Process
-
OA: 2 hours with 15 questions. Quite hard, involved operating systems, algorithms, and basic data structures.
-
Technical interview: 45 minutes to 1 hour with 1 LeetCode medium question. Not that hard data structures and algorithms. The interview experience is totally up to the interviewer. Mine was so fun (with simple BFS), but my friend's was a bit harsh with heaps.
-
Final round (9 am to 3 pm): Quite intensive. They asked you to write some small assignment questions. During the system design, they gave you quite interesting questions (not the typical type) and wanted to know how much knowledge you knew overall. The technical round was to review the code you just wrote and asked many questions to test your overall ability, which was quite overwhelming to me.
Questions
BFS, Heap, and design patterns, if you are using Java.
