Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience

Process

I applied through a university job board and received an email about an interview over a month later.

The first interview was a one-way video interview where I recorded timed responses. It was very awkward since you're not speaking to a real person.

I thought I did poorly because of the awkward format but after 1-2 weeks I was moved onto a second interview. It was a final round interview with the actual team, where three different team members took turns interviewing me for about 20 minutes each through Google Hangouts.

  • One person was front-end
  • Another was back-end
  • The last was behavioral

In the end, I was ghosted for nearly a month until I sent a follow-up email.
