Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - United States
Process
I applied and interviewed in March for the 2025 Summer SWE internship in New York City.
The interview was around an hour long.
I was asked only two behavioral questions before jumping into the technical questions.
For the technical portion, a question was asked (very easy) and then additional requirements were given to increase its complexity. This happened twice after the initial problem was presented, with the final iteration of the problem being comparable to a simpler LeetCode medium difficulty question.
