Software Developer Intern Interview Experience - Markham, Canada
Process
They sent an email stating the interview would be 30 minutes.
It was all technical. The next interview is supposed to be behavioral, but he mentioned that if you get through the technical interview, you're basically good to go.
The questions were high-level, but some were very specific. He asked me to pick my two favorite languages and explain the difference between them.
He also asked about databases, specifically the differences between MySQL and NoSQL.
Another question was about React: why use it and what its benefits are.
Overall, it was a relaxed interview, designed to get a rough idea of my skill set.
