Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

September 1, 2018
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Hackerrank, Phone Screen with an Engineer, Onsite interview consisting of 2 technical + 1 conversational interview.

For the most part, this was a great interview process. Recruiters were quick to follow up and move forward, and I enjoyed the non-traditional, more practical interview.

The onsite, however, was a bit of a mixed bag. I felt that 45 minutes was a bit rushed for the interviews, and I had small issues with both of my technical interviews onsite.

  • One interviewer was a last-minute replacement and was not prepared for the interview, which slowed things down quite a bit.
  • The other engineer got visibly frustrated when I was slow to code certain things, which flustered me.

Thus, I was not surprised when they said they could not extend an offer to me.

Questions

More practical questions involved some data structure use. One of the interviews also dealt with sending HTTP requests and interpreting/debugging responses.
