I interviewed for a full-stack software engineer intern position through the Leap program.

The first interview with a campus recruiter was a phone call scheduled via text. They asked very basic behavioral questions about things listed on my resume, such as:

• What languages I am best at
• How I work in a team
• How I communicate effectively
• Problems I've had in the workplace
• How I work in a group

There were no technical questions, besides surface-level ones like, "How well do you know Java?"

The second and final interview was scheduled via phone again, two weeks in advance. It was a Zoom call this time, with a software engineer.

First, they went through my entire resume. I would recommend knowing your resume very well. They asked questions about literally everything on my resume:

• "Tell me about your internship."
• "Tell me about your X project."
• "Tell me about your Y project."

Next, the question was about the four pillars of OOP. Know them and their definitions well.

Then, they asked me to implement a library system with books of different genres and a checking-in and checking-out method. This was to test if I could implement OOP in a real design.

Next were two very easy coding questions:

• A matrix problem (times table, I recall). As long as you know how to traverse a matrix, you'll be fine.
• Reverse a string without using another string or data structure (reverse for loop).

They didn't ask me to code at all, just prompted me with the questions and asked how I would go about solving them.

Keep in mind, I think the questions are all based on what the interviewer/recruiter wants to ask you, so the questions might vary, but these are all the questions I was asked. Hope this helps and best of luck!

How do you reverse a string in place?
