Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I applied online. The process took two weeks.
It was a very good process. I had done the first round and then was selected for the coding round. The question was a LeetCode hard problem. I solved it using a brute force approach, and then I was asked to solve it using an optimal approach. I succeeded as well, but I was not selected, I guess due to a sponsorship issue.
