Software Engineer Intern Interview Experience - United States
Process
Contacted by a recruiter for a web development position, I was asked some very basic CS questions on screening. The next round was taken by a software engineer on Skype. Firstly, there was a brief discussion on my resume, which was followed by technical questions (most web-related) based on the answers I gave. Then, a coding problem was presented on an online editor.
Questions
Basic JavaScript questions and concepts, one coding problem. Level: easy. I was not prepared well for the interview.
