Software Engineering Intern Interview Experience - Brooklyn, New York
Process
I first completed an online assessment, which consisted of adding multiple features and functionality to an existing Express.js app.
For the onsite interview, I had:
- A behavioral interview with an engineer
- A technical interview with another engineer
- A chat with the recruiter
- A tour around the office
Questions
The on-site technical question consisted of debugging an existing codebase in Flask.
It wasn't as much of a data structures/algorithms question as it was trying to see how well you could understand and adapt to an existing codebase in a framework that you are expected to have no experience in.
Was this helpful?
