Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I had two Google Meets.
The first was with the Engineering Manager (similar to a PM) and the team I would work with (Heroku).
The second was with a Software Engineer who would mentor interns and would be my mentor if I received an offer.
Both conversations were, simply put, technical discussions. I discussed my work experiences, projects, and resume, and I also asked questions about their roles and the specifics of their projects with the Heroku team.
The discussions were in-depth regarding their projects, and if I recall correctly, I had to sign an NDA beforehand. Both Google Meets lasted at least an hour.
