Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
I received a call from a University Recruiter after a brief discussion at the University Career Fair. She set up the first interview. It started with questions on projects and previous experience. After that, I was given two LeetCode medium questions and was able to solve both.
I got an email to set up a second interview two hours after the first interview. This interview was similar to the first one, and I was asked two LeetCode questions: one medium and one hard.
