Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience

Process

The interview process included case, behavioral, and technical interviews.

Interviewers were very nice.

I would say the case interview is the hardest part to prepare for, so try to prep for that.

The technical interview was straightforward and easy, as was the behavioral interview.

My behavioral interviewer told me to smile more. She and I are both female, so I would suggest balancing being serious and happy.
