Process

The internship interview process began with two phone screens, both of which were technical.

They involved general questions about string/array manipulation and were designed so that questions could be added to increase the challenge once the initial problem was solved.

After successful phone screens, you moved onto a matching process, which included a phone call with a potential intern host.

This interview seemed more behavioral, as no coding was involved. However, it did involve discussing and asking questions about some of the technologies they were using.
