Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California
Process
I had about three rounds of interviews. The first was behavioral, and the other two were technical. I did not have to do much active coding, but it was a lot of Java and OOP-specific questions, as that was what I had experience with. All of the interviewers/team I was interviewing for were really friendly.
Questions
Describe OOP and code a basic example (in Java).

- 2.0Very chill, very boringSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSanta Clara, California, United StatesNovember 13, 2025Pros: - Work a few hours a week - Everyone is chillCons: You will learn nothing. 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.
