Software Engineer Intern Interview Experience - Toronto, Canada
Process
OA was standard 2 LeetCodes (1 C++, other language of your choice) + 1 Ruby question.
Technical round was an OOP question, where you're given a scenario then you must go implement everything from scratch (AI use is encouraged).
Life story after is a conversational talk about your literal life and how you got to where you are.
Questions
Technical was given a design doc and told to just implement.
