Backend Developer Intern
Backend Developer Intern
Great transition to remote internship.
Very receptive to feedback.
Great work-life balance, with encouraged breaks and fun activities.
Awesome perks!
Occasionally given busywork. Had to contact a superior to be given more challenging tasks.
If your intern is given a boss in a vastly different time zone during a remote internship (like my boss was 7 hours ahead of me), make sure they have someone to ask questions during the day so that they're not stuck doing nothing if they run into an issue.

It was average. They asked me SQL-specific questions that I was not ready for. They also asked me about system design and told me to explain what a cache is used for.

I had a problem about merging a sorted array, a combination question given different arrays and array elements, and a string manipulation question. Hackerrank offers a great platform for the first round of interviews. It feels like practice.

The first stage was an online HackerRank assessment; it was not too hard. The next step was a live interview, which also took place on HackerRank. I was contacted by a recruiter for this. The interview was led by an SWE at IBM and went okay.
