Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience

Process

I met the recruiter at the career fair and was invited to an interview the following day.

The interview was easy, consisting of all behavioral questions. They wanted to know how well I work with teams. The interviewer was very nice, and the whole interview was very relaxed.

After the interview, the interviewer introduced me to another recruiter from Cisco next door. She asked me some brief questions about my skills, such as what programming languages I write and what my interests are.

The interviewer said he'd email me later the same day but never did. A week later, I received an email from him asking for another phone talk, but he never replied after I sent him my available times.

Neither the interviewer nor the other recruiters replied to my follow-up emails, and I received the rejection letter almost a month later.

Overall, the interview process and the interviewer were very nice. However, not replying to any emails afterward was quite frustrating.
