Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Sydney, Australia
Process
I applied online via LinkedIn and received an email response within 2-5 days.
Everything was good. My English verbal skills are not strong, so I failed the second round.
Questions
The first round was an online coding test on HackerRank. I had to solve 2 problems in 3 hours.
The first problem was about strings, which was quite easy. The second was harder, about backtracking. I only solved half of the test cases.
The second round was a behavioral interview. The interviewer called from Shanghai. She was nice. She asked about my studies, my projects, and how I solved problems with teammates.
