Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience

Process

I applied online, and the recruiter got back to me three months later to check my graduation date and visa status.

After screening, I received an email with two coding challenges and a snapshot survey.

Two weeks later, I got an email stating their willingness to move forward with my application and scheduling two back-to-back 45-minute technical interviews.

In my first interview, the recruiter explained a game and asked me to code for the user interface. I did well.

My second interview was on array concepts and was easier than the first one, but I didn't get good feedback from the recruiter.

He was expecting me to code the same method he had in mind, even though I ended up with the correct solution.

Exactly one week later, I received a rejection email.
