Process

I applied online for the Software Engineering Internship. I was informed about it through my professor, who is actually a software engineer for Google. He was there for an initiative that Google is undertaking with HBCUs.

I applied, and a few weeks later, I received an email from the recruiter. He was able to give me tons of information on Google and offered some helpful interview tips.

The best advice I can give for preparation is to read the PowerPoint that your recruiter sends you. I was very prepared.

My first interview was great; the interviewer was very friendly. The second interviewer's first language was not English, so I had some problems understanding him.

Tips for interviewing:

  • Talk through your code.
  • Explain what you are thinking.
  • Ask them questions.

This helped me so much! Good luck!
