Software Engineer Intern Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks.
There's a recruiter call where they just gauge that you're a normal person and have real interest in the company. This is followed by a coding interview with your usual LC medium. After is the decomp + learning interview (systems design and code review basically). This is where I got dropped.
