Software Engineering Intern Interview Experience - Cupertino, California
Process
Applied externally (not through the Canadian university job portal) and was contacted by HR to schedule an interview.
The interview was roughly one hour long. The first half was just chatting and getting to know each other, with some general behavioral questions. My interviewers were super nice, so I was lucky.
The second half involved CoderPad, where there were two questions.
Since this was a frontend-focused team, I had to complete a coding challenge question specific to JavaScript and then another specific to React.
