Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience

Process

I applied online.

There were 2 technical rounds, and the second round was standard LC that went well, including a max-heap question to simulate a voting system. The first round was low-level heavy, featuring questions about dynamic casting, memory constraints and management, and designing a hash function. I was told the interview would be DSA based and reached out to the recruiting team to inform them that my first round was not really fair, but they did not agree to a re-interview.
