Software Engineer Intern Interview Experience

Process

I applied online. The process took two months.

The application process I went through was divided into two main parts. In the first one, I was asked to take a series of tests, mostly composed of multiple-choice questions and open-answer questions. Each test took about 30 minutes, and except for a small part, no coding was involved. All in all, the tests were not hard, and they aimed at testing logical thinking in unfamiliar topics. (Some tests were also provided in the form of funny stories and scenarios). The tests had no deadline, and I was able to take them whenever I wanted in my free time.

The second part of the process had me going through three interviews, two focused on myself and how I would behave in certain given situations (with examples, if possible), and one more practical interview where I was given two problems and was asked to explain how I would solve them and why I would proceed in a certain way. The interviews' difficulty was in line with the first part of the process. The interviewers were very helpful, with follow-up questions and explanations in case something was not clear enough. During the whole process, I was followed by a recruiter who took care of keeping me in the loop after each step I took, from the application to the last one. At the end, I received very useful feedback from the recruiter about my application process. The whole process took around two months, with a total of about ten hours considering the tests and the interviews.
