Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - United States
Process
I had the most miserable experience since the recruiter missed almost 4-5 calls with me and was just so bad at communication. The interviews themselves were fine. There was a Codesignal, followed by a recruiter call, and then two hour-long final interviews. One was regular DSA around LeetCode medium, and the other was OOP, which they call system design. You have to code in both, but in the OOP one, your code is never actually run.
