Software Engineer Intern Interview Process
Software Engineer Intern Interview Process
The interview process was fairly quick. There was a given challenge that was very much doable. In addition, the recruiters and managers were all very welcoming and interested in what you had to say.
Besides the given challenge to schedule an interview time, the process wasn’t broken up through a set of days. Instead, the entire interview was about 3 to 4 hours long.
It’s difficult to schedule that many hours in a single day and time period. It is also pretty tiring being interviewed for that long.
It would have been helpful if the interview process was more spaced out over the course of a week, so students can come in with a clear mindset and not feel as overwhelmed by the time they get to the actual coding portion of the interview.
