Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
Spoke to a recruiter at a college career fair and was invited to an on-campus interview shortly afterward.
The interview was about 45 minutes and pretty casual. I got an easy technical question, so moved onto the on-site interview.
The on-site was basically a whole day: a coding challenge in the morning and three interviews in the afternoon - two technical, one behavioral/culture fit.
After about a month, they got back to me with an offer.
