Intern - Software Engineer Interview Experience

November 1, 2020
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I completed three interviews in total.

I also had to submit a video showcasing a project.

This was for a 6-month internship that required no prior experience.

The interviews consisted of:

  • One self-proctored interview
  • One phone screen
  • One day-long, 5-hour interview

I did not receive an offer. The feedback provided was that there were simply a lot of candidates. All interviewers gave no negative notes.

Questions

The process began with an online, self-proctored coding challenge using a web-based IDE. This was a basic coding challenge, an easy LeetCode level.

The final interview was 5 hours long and consisted of 2 coding challenges and 2 behavioral interviews. The candidate pool was large, with over 500 applicants for only 20 slots.

The coding challenge had about 18 test cases and was actually quite easy, with a 4-hour time limit, so there was plenty of time. The second step was a 1-hour "phone screen."

Was this helpful?
