Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California
February 14, 2025
Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
The process was pretty straightforward. I had to follow up with the recruiter a few times, as they were a little slow. The final interview consisted of three back-to-back interviews:
- One behavioral.
- One technical behavioral, where they asked a super-simple programming loops question.
- One hiring manager interview.
Questions
Standard behavioral questions.
(Use STAR format and you'll be good.)
