Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience
Process
The first recruiter reached out with questions about grad date, citizenship, etc. via email.
Next, I was scheduled for the final round interview.
It had three parts:
- Behavioral
- Case
- Technical
The technical portion was LeetCode-tagged. The behavioral questions focused on hypothetical situations and how I would act (different questions than others posted here, but not difficult). The case was a business situation.
Questions
Gave me a snippet of code with a ton of if-else statements and asked to simplify it to a few lines.
