Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience

Process

I applied online and was reached out by a recruiter to set up two back-to-back technical interviews. The recruiter was helpful and quick to respond.

The two interviews went similarly: first, "Tell me about yourself," then a coding question. They were easy-medium. I came up with the solution fairly quickly but took too long to code.

The second interview was with a first-time interviewer. He was very nitpicky. I was stopped in the middle a few times to change variable names and had to use constants instead of numbers (like 0 and 1) for flags.

Questions

Tell me about yourself. Then, a coding question would have been a Medium LeetCode problem.
