Software Engineer Interview Experience - Cupertino, California
Process
I interviewed for an internship. Two phone interviews were conducted.
Both interviews were technical and focused primarily on previous experience, with questions akin to, "Describe a recent programming challenge you completed, and how you overcame it."
I was not asked to write code at any point, presumably because the interview was for an internship.
