Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience
Process
I applied online and received an email from a recruiter after a month. They asked me to schedule an interview. The interview was the strangest I have ever experienced.
I was asked questions about Machine Learning, Web Scraping, and Natural Language Processing, among other topics. These were in no way related to my background or even a general Software Engineer position.
After the interview, I wasn't notified that the offer was declined until 45 days later.
