SWE Summer Interview Experience

Process

I had three rounds on campus, with no on-site interviews since I study on the East Coast.

Each technical interview lasted about 45 minutes, with a 10-minute Q&A session. The interviewers went straight into coding and problem-solving, and did not ask "What do you like about Google?" type of questions.

After I got host-matched, I chatted with a team engineer for about an hour about their work and prospective intern projects before making a decision.

Questions

Binary search trees, writing code according to a spec sheet, for technical rounds and another round, behavioral.
