Process

A one-hour panel interview with two interviewers.

It's pretty typical, with a 50/50 split between behavioral and technical questions.

The technical questions include a few CS concept questions and a few coding questions.

Nothing too difficult, as you are interviewing as an intern, but make sure you know the basic Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts. Both are core to Computer Science, in my humble opinion.

Be comfortable coding in at least one main language in a notepad.

Questions

Can you inherit multiple classes in Java? Why or why not?
