Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Boulder, Colorado
Process
Three separate one-on-one interviews each, led by a different member of their team.
One interviewer was an HR person, and the other two were engineers.
One of the engineers was very odd and asked very odd questions for a sophomore in college. At one point, he asked me if I had ever tried to gain access to a system I was not supposed to have access to. When I responded no, he appeared disappointed.
Very odd experience.
