Software Engineering Practicum Internship Interview Experience - Stanford, California
Process
The interview process involved two early morning phone interviews. Both interviewers were based on the East Coast, while I was on the West Coast.
The recruiter took a while to get back to me. I was also surprised that I had to sign an NDA before interviewing.
Questions
The questions weren't difficult. I was just a little rusty in the morning and didn't do so well.
I think the hardest one was to traverse a linked list and remove any odd elements.
