Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience

Process

I was interviewed for a position in the United States.

Had a technical video interview for 45 minutes.

The interviewer started with:

  • 'Tell me about yourself and your industry experience?'
  • Explain your projects, followed by some questions related to them.
  • Why PayPal?

Later, I was given two coding questions related to strings and arrays, which were easy. The interviewer was not open to asking doubts about input and output. So, the more I asked, the faster the question was closed for me to code.

I received an additional coding question since we were left with some time, and the same happened.

In two days, I received a rejection email.
