Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
I applied for a position online and received a call from a recruiter. She gave me a questionnaire, which I answered. She simply said I would get a call from the hiring manager afterward, but no timeline was given.
Suddenly, one evening, the hiring manager called without any notice. Apparently, that was the last time I heard from anyone.
The hiring manager was not interested in knowing about my background; she was simply rushing, and her English communication was poor. Days later, after emailing the recruiter multiple times, I learned that other candidates were more fit for the role than me.
I was scammed and wasted my time preparing for the interview during that one-week period.

SAP Work Experiences
- 5.0Student Vocational Training InternSoftware Engineer (Internship) • Current EmployeeNewtown Square, Pennsylvania, United StatesAugust 10, 2021Pros: Interesting work, professional co-workers, great benefits such as a lunch stipend and an in-company gym. As an intern, I felt treated like a real employee instead of an intern. A good place to intern at if you find a team that knows what they are doing.Cons: Depends heavily on which team you are on. Some teams allow you to do meaningful work that follows industry standards, while some other teams do not. I'm interested in software development, but a lot of tech stacks are proprietary (understandable, since it's a corporation). There are not a lot of jobs related to SE in the Eastern US.

The company structure felt very top-down back then, and maybe not a lot of autonomy for individual teams.
