Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Boston, Massachusetts
Process
General OOP concepts to see that basic qualifications were met. The interview process was pretty long for me and lasted over a few months because they were restructuring the onboarding process. My final interview process ended up being 1 HackerRank, 1 video interview, and then 2 onsites. The first onsite was 2 whiteboarding questions that didn't really require code. The second was more intensive but still just OOP basics.
Questions
