Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience

September 19, 2019

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

There were three interviews: one case, one behavioral, and one technical.

They provide case preparation, and you can prepare for the technical interview using LeetCode or CTCI.

The behavioral interview was not difficult.

I struggled a bit on the technical interview, but that was because I hadn't prepared very well.

Questions

General STAR questions for behavioral. Not very difficult.
