Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience
Process
I had two back-to-back interviews, with an introduction at the beginning of both.
The first interview included both behavioral and technical questions. The second interview focused solely on technical questions.
The difficulty of the questions was based on the college courses I had taken.
I was asked questions of medium difficulty related to sliding windows and binary search.
