Software Engineer Intern Interview Experience - Columbia, Maryland
Process
The interview process involved an initial online assessment, followed by a behavioral round.
I first applied in November and took the online assessment then, which consisted of easy coding questions. I was only contacted for the second round after reaching out to a recruiter.
The behavioral interview was also straightforward, asking about projects and tools I have used. However, they seemed to have a lot of applicants, making the process feel competitive.
