Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience
Process
I applied online, and after around two weeks, I received an online Zoom interview. It started with asking about resume projects experience, followed by some system design questions, and ended with a live coding session that is similar to a LeetCode hard question.
Questions
How did you use Redis in your project, and what are the advantages of Redis? The live coding question was regular expression matching.
