Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience

October 1, 2019

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

1 behavioral phone call, 2 back-to-back behavioral + technical interviews.

During one of my technical interviews, I was not allowed to choose the language I wanted to code in. Instead, I was asked to code in another language listed on my resume that I had not prepared for interviews in, which put me at a disadvantage.
