Software Engineer Interview Experience - Waterloo, Ontario
Process
The interview process was long for an internship.
I had one in-person interview and three on the phone, all an hour long.
The hiring process very much depends on the team. You can expect two to four interviews, which are all technical.
Questions
The questions asked were on point. There was some CS trivia to start, and the interview then got into deeper hypothetical scenarios with technologies listed on my resume. I was also asked about what kind of work I am interested in, and questions relevant to my response.
