Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California
Process
I applied through an educational recruiting company. After I got the first phone interview (background information), I was called for an onsite interview.
I answered coding questions correctly, but I think they were looking for a Python developer. I answered the coding questions in Java.
Anyway, it was a good experience.

To get ahead and do anything meaningful is nearly impossible. If you try to, you will be beholden to sister teams doing nothing and your own teammates overestimating work. Don't shake the culture-type feel. Pay is slightly above average as a general average, but very below for a top 100 company.
