Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience

Process

The process was pretty straightforward. First, there was an online assessment. If I passed the OA, the next step was a technical interview. The process was extremely efficient, with the recruiter following up within a few days of my interview, which I appreciated. My only complaint was that during the technical interview (conducted over Zoom), the interviewer didn't turn on their video. While this isn't a big deal, it's something that always makes me feel a bit more on edge.

Questions

The OA consisted of 2 multiple-choice questions and 1 coding question, all of which I would consider LeetCode Easy and rather straightforward. However, the technical interview questions were definitely more around the medium-hard level. You have to complete 3 stages of a wildcard regex matching question to pass. I think they reuse the same question for almost every interview, so definitely study your regular expressions!

I finished the first 2 parts of the question but unfortunately ran out of time to completely implement the 3rd part, which is why I was ultimately rejected.
