Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - United States
Process
First, after I applied, I received an email to schedule a recruiter call.
This call involved basic questions, such as "Why Coursera?" and "What is your experience and what did you learn in school?"
Afterwards, I was sent an OA (Online Assessment) that consisted of around one LeetCode Easy question and two multiple-choice questions.
Following that, I was scheduled for a technical interview with a current engineer.
