Software Engineer Intern Interview Experience

March 3, 2013
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

First, you should apply online and then directly contact the HR person to follow up. They appreciate that.

Then, when you have the interview, it will be an extremely long, two-hour one. They ask questions about your background, like your outside work or similar topics. They will also ask you about the information you provided on your resume.

The first half includes those types of questions and brain teaser questions. The second half was a coding question.

Questions

The most unexpected ones were the network questions. They asked me how sites on the internet were accessed. I kind of forgot that sites are just IP addresses, but I remembered and told them that.

They also asked me to explain how data was transferred and the differences between UDP and TCP.

After that, they asked me if I knew what GET and POST did in JavaScript, since I had done some JavaScript before.

The coding questions were not that hard; I was just nervous and blanked for a bit.
