Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States

March 1, 2022
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

There were 2 thirty-minute interviews:

  1. A one-on-one with the engineering manager of the team I would have been working with. Covered details of the internship (work day, start/end dates, etc.) as well as culture, projects, etc.
  2. A one-on-one technical interview with the engineer who'd be the mentor. A conversational-style technical where he introduced a problem, then we talked about how I'd go about building a solution. As we went, he brought up edge cases and asked questions about why I would make certain choices.

Overall, it was one of the best interview experiences I’ve had even though I didn’t get an offer and almost definitely will apply for other positions at Digital Ocean again in the future.
