Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience

Process

I applied in early September and received an online coding challenge in mid-September (very easy).

Then I entered the phone interviews (mid-difficulty).

I passed the phone interviews and entered the project matching phase in mid-October.

Host matching was the worst part of the interview process because you never know when or if you will get a host matching interview.

For almost four months, I didn't receive any host matching interviews. Luckily, my recruiter was able to find a team willing to give me a shot.

Then I had a great conversation with my manager. He was really nice and explained the project and the team to me.

Questions

Phone Interviews

NDA

The host matching interview was very laid-back and not technical. It basically involved asking if you have some experience and seeing if you were interested in the project and team.
