SWE Intern Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California
October 26, 2026
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.
It was harder than expected for sure, especially for a freshman. There were LeetCode easy/mediums, but a lot of syntax was needed, especially without any outside resources (like Google for looking up documentation).
Questions
A 2D array problem, a dictionary-filling, sorting, and outputting problem. And a bunch of MCQs in C or Java.
