Engineering Practicum Internship Interview Experience
Process
The recruiter contacted me asking to set up an interview time.
I had two technical interviews scheduled back-to-back (phone interviews).
They were pretty easy and straightforward. They asked me to solve problems and talk about the Big O of my solution and how I could make it better.
After interviewing, I was told I passed the interviews. However, the hiring committee said they could not move my application forward.
Questions
My first interview asked me to sort a list and return the integers most common in that list. I was totally not expecting a question that easy.
