Software Engineering Intern Interview Experience
Process
Standard coding questions, LeetCode medium level.
Three or four interviews before lunch.
Answered all correctly. The second interview went especially well; I finished all the questions the interviewer had and had a very friendly chat for the rest of the time.
Then, I got rejected.
I've previously received intern offers from much better companies (Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Airbnb, Jane Street), so this outcome was pretty jarring.
