SWE Intern Interview Experience - United States
Process
I first had a coding challenge and heard back from them in a week.
I had a call with the recruiter where she just tried to gauge my interest and answer any questions I had.
Finally, I had an onsite that felt like a phone screen (just one one-hour interview with a LeetCode medium question).
Questions
Write a program that decides if a string contains any prohibited words. The program should return True if it does, and False otherwise.
