Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - United Kingdom
Process
The process took about a month. I applied in early November 2019 and had to complete a HackerRank coding challenge.
The HackerRank focused on string manipulation questions (finding certain substrings) and there were many test cases with memory limitations. I did not fully optimize my code and failed 4-5 (out of 11) test cases, but I still received a phone interview.
The phone interview I received was at the end of November and scheduled for early December. It was a one-hour, brief introduction by the interviewer, followed by a LeetCode (easy to medium) question.
