Software Engineering Interview Experience - United States
Process
The first round was a one-hour online test covering two Java questions. This was followed by a CoderPad interview with a senior engineer at Netflix.
The interview was very chill, but they were explicit that they would not extend a return offer after the internship. They exclusively hire experienced engineers, and this internship is purely for exposure.
Questions
Online test: Implement a text editor using Java.
Coderpad interview: Implement an LRU cache.
