Software Engineer Intern Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Online Assessment -> Technical -> Super Day (3 Technical) -> Project Matching (1+)
OA was actually very hard, but I passed with 9 out of 15 on the first problem and 5 out of 15 on the second problem.
Initial technical was LeetCode medium. Super day was mediums and hards. Project matching is operating systems and networking concepts, and LeetCode depending on who you get and what project, and CIT vs. CITSec.
Questions
Technical: Smallest substring with nonrepeatable characters
Superday: Frog Jump (DP) with a twist, kinda
