The entire interview process was relatively quick, lasting around 10 minutes in total. The interviewer jumped straight into the core questions, which covered a mix of basic behavioral scenarios and a few light technical questions to assess my background. It concluded with a brief opportunity for me to ask a couple of questions about the team and the summer intern role.
There were 2 interviews, one was a phone interview asking about basic OOP concepts. The other was a technical coding interview where I had to code problems in java, html, css and sql.
