Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Chicago, Illinois
Process
I applied for this position online and got a coding test, which contained one question that could be solved in most popular languages.
After about two weeks, I received an email inviting me to participate in a video interview, which included nine questions. You have about 15-30 seconds to read the question, then you'll have about 30 seconds to 4 minutes to answer the question (each one has a different time limit).
About one week later, I received the rejection letter.
