Software Engineer Intern Interview Experience

Process

I talked to them at a school career fair, and they came to my school for interviews the next week.

The process is: career fair/apply -> interview -> coding on a virtual blackboard while talking on the phone -> onsite interview. (I only got the first interview. It was a very long process.)

The interviewer was nice and a good guy. He asked me to write code to find the intersection of two unordered linked lists.

Some other questions I didn't have to code were: What a MySQL JOIN statement is (I had MySQL on my resume) and how networking works.
