Software Engineering Intern Interview Experience - UC Berkeley, California
Process
I applied through a career fair and had a first-round interview on campus.
The first round consisted of simple questions involving knowledge of hash functions, graph traversals, and classic Java syntax.
The interviewers were very friendly; I was interviewed by two engineers simultaneously. Both of them were very nice and interesting people.
