Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience
Process
The interview was split into two portions:
A behavioral portion (30 minutes) and a technical portion (45 minutes).
The behavioral questions were the basic "why do you want to work here?" and "tell us how you handle challenges" types. This portion of the interview was likely with the potential future manager.
The technical portion was led by a team member, and the experience will vary greatly between teams. I had a few high-level questions about algorithms and data structures, but most of the interview was dedicated to a "design a service" prompt.
