SWE Intern Interview Experience - Princeton, New Jersey
Process
I applied for the SWE internship and I don't recall which one I selected, but I received the SWEI C++ HackerRank.
It included approximately 13 in-depth C++ questions and two C++ OOP coding questions.
I haven't heard back yet, but it's only been a few days.
Questions
The HackerRank had 13 or so pretty in-depth C++ questions. It also included two object-oriented design questions related to financial trading. These were simple to code up but required a bit of thought to understand the requirements.
