SWE Intern Experience
SWE Intern Experience
Work-life balance is great, and the pay ($51/hr) was great. There were lots of intern events, free drinks, 40 cafeterias on campus, and many great benefits: $400 for wellness, $10,000 post-tax for housing (or choose corporate housing), and PTO.
New grad pay isn't the highest compared to other big tech companies. Return offers take a long time to come.

Software Engineer Intern
Very straightforward, two back-to-back thirty-minute technical interviews that had a combination of LeetCode easy and medium questions, along with some behavioral questions that were sprinkled in there.

One OA, then a final round. The final round is two interviews, each 45 minutes long. Basically all technical. The first one was implementing Dijkstra's from scratch. The other one was a typical medium string question using two pointers.

Pretty nice overall process. It was very standard, and the process was quick after the OA and interviews. The interview consisted of a standard behavioral assessment and a pretty easy LeetCode medium implementation. I received the offer.
