Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
The first stage was a HackerRank, which was one coding challenge to be completed in an hour. About a week later, I was invited to interview at their office in NYC. That interview consisted of working through two technical problems step by step on a whiteboard. The total interview lasted 2 and a half hours. I received an offer later that day.
Questions
Two one-hour coding problems: One was more generic, the other was more particular to work at The Trade Desk.
