Software Engineer Intern Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Contacted by HR and had two technical phone interviews. The first interviewer had a strong accent, which was a significant challenge throughout the interview. He was trying to give tips, and I had him type in a Google Doc where I had to code.
The second interviewer was great; we talked a lot about the company, and he laughed at the jokes I made.
Questions were simple. Don't study too much; just review data structures and test cases to verify the correctness of your code.
Recruiters send an email telling you what to go over. It has a bunch of stuff written, but don't get frustrated because it's way too complex, and you will never be asked to implement it in 45 minutes.
Questions
None of the questions were difficult; they were just basic data structure questions.
