Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience
Process
A one-hour call with two engineers, followed by a 30-minute call with the hiring manager. The entire process was less than two weeks long after being contacted. I had applied a couple of weeks before. The experience was very low-stress; everyone I spoke to was very nice, and it felt like a conversation more than an interview.
