Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Brooklyn, New York
Process
Applied online and sent a follow-up email, then received the Express/JS online exam.
Was invited to their HQ in Brooklyn, which was very beautiful. First, I went on a tour, which was very nice, and I enjoyed meeting my recruiter. Then, I had my technical interview, which involved using Flask (Python). The interviewer was very nice and guided me to the solution.
I also had my behavioral interview, which featured typical STAR questions.
Overall, it was a very nice experience, though I did not receive a response on the day they had promised. I had to send a follow-up email a few days later and then received their response.
