Software Engineering Internship Interview Experience - United States
Process
I was given a coding test. Once I completed it, I received an email to set up a phone interview.
For the phone interview, they asked me questions about my experience. Then, I had a technical phone interview. The questions weren't too hard, but I wasn't able to complete it in an hour. I did not make it past this round.
Questions
I was given a sum of money and amounts that were owed to each company. Given that information, I had to distribute it evenly between companies, ensuring I could either pay them all back or distribute it as evenly as possible.
