Software Engineer Intern Interview Experience

Process

I connected with the company at a university career fair and secured an on-campus interview. This consisted of two 30-minute rounds.

Afterward, I was invited for an on-site interview at Indeed. It was a great experience, though the schedule was intensive.

In the morning, I had three one-to-one (actually one-to-two) interviews, followed by a 90-minute coding exercise in the afternoon.

I didn't finish the question in one of the interviews, but we discussed the last part. I also didn't finish the coding exercise. I couldn't even print the sample output (after the interview, I realized it might have been due to a simple mistake), but I wrote down my idea and algorithm in a text file, which I believe was correct.

I received an offer a week later. While I was initially excited, I later received a better offer and had to decline.

The recruiter was great, and the engineers there had their own distinct styles, which would be beneficial for an internship.
