Independent Work, Bureaucratic Hurdles
Independent Work, Bureaucratic Hurdles
Great work-life balance, great managers, and you get to pursue your own direction, as long as it aligns with the overarching project direction.
Limited guidance, which can be a bad thing if you struggle to take ownership of your work or work independently. Also, dealing with management can be a bit bureaucratic (e.g., if you need access to data), and the VPN is a pain to deal with.
It might help if the intern project is well-defined. While I do appreciate the opportunity to pursue open-ended research, the timelines we operate with as interns are a bit too tight to really make substantial progress.

I didn't get past the screening interview process, but I can say that the interview was a CodeSignal interview. There were four questions: * Two relatively easy * One more difficult * The last one very challenging I scored around 720, but I guess
SWE Intern
Normal powerday interview. It was pretty easy. Normal OOP technical with a banking question. The case interview was a little harder. Behavioral was normal. Focus on OOP concepts. All interviewers were really nice and helpful.

Easy, one case, one behavioral, one technical interview. By far the easiest interview I ever had. Normal behavioral questions, and for the case, just think from a business standpoint. Prep LeetCode Easy for the technical.
