Simulation Engineering Internship Interview Experience - Palo Alto, California
Process
Phone interviews started out with "Let's start with some technical questions." After 30-40 minutes of technical questions, they asked me about 10 minutes about myself. That was about it. The technical questions asked a lot about data structures and algorithms to make my solution or their solution to problems more efficient.
