Software Engineering Co-op Interview Experience - Cambridge, Massachusetts
Process
I applied online by submitting my resume.
I was then given a link to their coding challenge, which involved retrieving data, parsing data, and posting data to an endpoint they provided. This challenge had a time limit of 3 hours, and I was able to complete it in 1.5 hours.
Next, I had a 30-minute call with the recruiter. She told me about the role and asked me standard behavioral questions.
A couple of weeks later, I received an email stating that I was moving forward in the process for a final round. The final round consisted of two interviews, each an hour long. One was focused on programming (e.g., LeetCode Medium), and the other was on systems design. This was my first technical interview, so I was pretty nervous for the systems design interview, but I was surprised by how conversational it was and ended up learning a lot through it.
About a week later, I was notified that I would be offered a role!
