Software Engineer Intern Interview Experience
Process
I went in for the first-round interview and ended up tanking it. I forgot a lot of the material from my class. The interviewers were not pleased and cut the interview short at 30 minutes. The first-round interview was mainly personality-based and not technical. From what I've heard, the second-round interviews are more technical.
