Software Development Engineer Intern Interview Experience
Process
I received four days' notice for my first interview, with two days offered as options to choose from.
I logged into HackerRank and waited as my interviewer joined me. He (assuming from his voice) did not turn his camera on, so I never got to see his face, which kind of put me on guard a little.
He asked me a problem and said I didn't need to compile. I felt stupid because I really couldn't understand what exactly he was asking me. He was patient with me, but not friendly at all (I was okay with that). He was quiet as I was thinking out loud the solution, and he responded only when I asked.
Questions
Coding problem, which I had never seen before (maybe LeetCode easy/medium).
One behavioral question towards the end.
Asked about me at the beginning.
