SWE Intern Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington
Process
The entire process took about one to two months.
I was able to choose my date for the first round interview. The interviewer asked me an easy LeetCode question and then asked me to optimize it. The interviewer was super friendly!
Next were the final round interviews, which consisted of two separate interviews.
- The first interview went okay. They asked me a medium LeetCode question and some behavioral questions, such as what language I would prefer.
- My first final round, on-site (virtual) interview went okay, and then I had my second final round interview.
In the second interview, they asked me a medium-hard LeetCode question, which I was able to solve. Both interviewers were super friendly!
Overall, the process was smooth.
Questions
Medium and medium-hard LeetCode questions.
