Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - San Mateo, California
Process
First, they will give you a call to briefly talk about yourself and your resume. If that goes well, you will be asked to do a HackerRank test online (for me it was timed for 1 hour).
There was both coding and multiple choice on this test. If that goes well, there will be an onsite interview with multiple team members. They will ask you technical questions, which is not necessarily too hard if you have been prepping.
