Software Engineer Intern Interview Experience - Los Angeles, California
Process
The process involved standard online assessments on HackerRank, followed by four rounds of interviews.
These included:
- A phone screen
- A technical review
- Two behavioral interviews
Recruiters were super nice and responsive throughout the process. However, one interviewer for a behavioral round was terrible. She wasn't paying attention when I was speaking and continued to reply to her friend, laughing on her screen.
Aside from that, the technical portion covered basic CS fundamentals and a review of the online assessment.
