Process

I received an email after attending Grace Hopper.

I had a 15-minute phone screening, followed by two 45-minute technical phone interviews.

I heard back the following week, and they asked me to complete one more 45-minute interview. The last interview was just a couple of days ago, so I am still waiting to hear back.

I had a really good experience with the recruiters.

Oh, and I forgot to add that I am interviewing for the Winter Internship, not the Summer.

I have heard the process is more difficult since there are fewer projects available, but let's see.

Questions

1st interview: String comparison and manipulation in large arrays.

2nd interview: Program to perform functions on a graph.

3rd interview: Arithmetic operations on numbers as arrays.
