Software Engineering Intern Interview Experience - United States
Process
The interview involved two LeetCode-style questions, but both were modified versions of hard questions. One was a system design question, asking me to manage printer activity based on printer specifications and threshold limits.
Questions
Printers can have one of three states and can be activated one by one.
If too many printers are active at once, some will get suspended.
There were specifications on how printers got suspended and in what order, etc.
