Software Engineer Intern Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
One on-campus interview followed by a full day of onsite interviews.
I was asked programming and computer science questions, basic behavioral questions, and a couple of brainteasers.
I had to write some basic code to answer a few questions. Each interview lasted about 30 minutes.
For the onsite interviews, I had three with each of the two groups that were considering hiring me.
