Software Engineering Intern Interview Experience - Ann Arbor, Michigan
Process
I applied through the Workday. Then HR reached out to me. I had two rounds of interviews.
The first round was a LeetCode-type problem. I did not like the interview since I had to open my own IDE to implement the code. I guess the interviewer could at least use Google Docs if the company had nothing for the interview. After one week I reached out to HR whether we are moving forward leading to no response. At that point, I felt like I was ghosted.
Three weeks later HR reached out to me for a second round interview. I was not informed what type of round it was. The second round was mostly overall interest and behavioral direction.
I got a rejection from HR after one week. The overall experience was not pleasant mostly due to the HR communications. They are short-staffed staffed or they do not simply care.
Questions
The problem was a LeetCode medium difficulty question on strings.

- 5.0Awesome People, Awesome CultureSoftware Engineering Intern • Current EmployeeAnn Arbor, MichiganAugust 18, 2023Pros: It's been a pleasure to work here in the Ann Arbor office this summer, even with my project being very independent, there has been no shortage of helpful guidance and an overall friendly atmosphere to work in. Employees seem very motivated by their work, and management clearly works hard to make sure interns are getting the support they need, while also being pushed.Cons: Some interns that I've interacting with had far less significant projects compared to others. I know management makes a strong effort to assign good projects to all interns but I know a couple people who had extremely valuable projects, and others who were doing a bunch of mini and somewhat insignificant tasks.
