Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience

January 1, 2019

Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

The first round was with a recruiter, who asked about my resume, past experiences, and teamwork. These were standard behavioral interview questions.

The next stage involved a short behavioral question about resolving team conflict with a member of the team I would join. Following that, there was a semi-technical question on functional programming and another about REST APIs. I felt I performed well.

A few days later, a recruiter contacted me with an offer.

Questions

Describe the process of writing an app using functional programming.

Design a REST API that another frontend team could work with.

Pros: - Worked very closely with my team, delivering work directly applicable to the team on a very customer-facing product as an intern. - Had lots of opportunity to hear from the CEO and executives. - Received monthly Fridays off for wellness plus $100 monthly reimbursements for wellness activities. - Good salary. - Relaxed deadlines and no "grinding" or "tech bro" culture. - Received lots of swag. - Experienced lots of clarity about expectations and how to reach them. - Received lots of support from recruiters and the intern team. - Everyone is super nice, friendly, and open about feedback and helping you. - Even though I failed to get an offer from one team, my recruiter passed my information to another team where I received an offer.

Cons: The smallest con: since I started in June, a lot of the intern events happened in the beginning and more in May. So, at around the halfway mark, there wasn't a lot of engagement from the intern team.
