Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - McLean, Virginia
Process
There is one interview with three parts, each 45 minutes.
The order is random. For me, I first had the technical, then behavioral, and finally the case interview.
After the second interview, you have a 10 to 15-minute break.
Questions
There are a bunch of LeetCode questions that you should practice before getting into the feel of a technical interview.
I would highly recommend practicing string manipulation and linked list questions.
There is also a chance that you'll run into a DP question.
