I had a phone interview. The phone interview mainly consisted of algorithm questions. The interviewer then asked me to implement the questions.
This was followed by an onsite interview, which consisted of four onsite rounds.

Pretty cool codebase

Pros: Good code.
Nice benefits.
The skill level of people working there is pretty high, I must say.
There is free food available all the time.
Cons: Too much work. They make you work like donkeys. If you're in a team like Global Trading, your life will be hell.
3.0
Pay is good.
Brand is good.
Technology is ancient.
Recruitment is nonsense

Pros: Free snacks and soft drinks.
Pay is good.
The company really pays a lot of attention to the internship program.
The people working there are smart.
Cons: Technology is amazingly old. Do you know Comdb?
Managers don't care about your feelings as long as you get the work done, regardless of how you achieved it.
For an intern, whether you can get a full-time job offer is independent of how your work was during the summer, even if you work hard and your mentor and manager like you.
