Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience

Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
Easy coding challenge. The recruiter gets back to you really quickly.
The first interview is mostly behavioral, but they will drill down on your past projects. Make sure to demonstrate that you understand everything, the tradeoffs you considered, and that the project was complex enough.
They really want to know what you can produce.
Questions
Give me an example of a project that you completed. Walk me through it.

Software Engineer (Internship) • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
September 1, 2021
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.
