Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience

Positive ExperienceGot Offer
Process
After applying, I had to take a technical test to solve some tasks (I had to write code for some methods, etc.).
After passing that test, I had 3 interviews before being accepted:
- HR - discussion about skills, including an English language test.
- Technical interview with future colleagues to test your knowledge.
- Final interview with the manager.
Questions
In the first technical test, I had to write some methods to solve some problems or to modify some existing ones. At the second technical interview, they asked me both theoretical and practical questions, e.g., what is the parent class of all classes? They also asked me to write some code.

Great Culture, Tough Promotions
Software Engineer III • Current Employee
Orlando, Florida, United States
November 14, 2021
Pros: A very laid-back place to work. Everyone is typically excited about their work and excited to work together.
The benefits are good, with good healthcare, free games, and plenty of time off, including a seasonal shutdown between Christmas and New Year.
There is a great company-wide push for building an inclusive culture.
Cons: At higher levels, getting promoted or recognized is difficult unless you impress the correct people.
Pay is somewhat low, but OK for the Orlando area.
Management tends to be short-sighted, only focusing on the current product.
Work-life balance is OK most of the time, but could be better. It is up to the individual to manage it, but there are times when more time is asked annually.
