Software Engineering Intern Interview Experience - Miami, Florida
Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks.
I had an interview with someone on the platform team. They asked me to create a file-processing and branch-parsing system. The design wasn't necessarily that hard part, but the questions they ask about complexity, python packages and alternatives that optimize for different things, and thread processes and how it may be running on a machine lower level view made the difficulty of the interview increase.
