Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience
Process
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day.
There were 2 rounds of DSA, and you have to explain the approach to the interviewer. When they are satisfied with your approach, they'll ask you to code. And like I was aware of only common patterns but didn't practice enough to convert a problem to a pattern, so I was stuck in that part itself.
Questions
Like Google questions have a wording, we have to convert it into a known problem.
