Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I first passed two rounds of on-campus interviews and was invited to an on-site interview.
After being brought to the office by an HR representative, she gave me a tour of the lounge area in the building.
The first round of interviews was conducted with two HR staff members, and the second round was with two software engineers. One of the engineers was the engineering team lead.
