Technical Coding Behavioral
For a software internship, expect lots of technical questions, coding tests, and chats about your past programming projects. They wanna see how you solve problems, know algorithms, code well, work in a team, and fit in culturally with behavioral questions. You might also get asked about data structures, design patterns, and system architecture to check your tech skills and how you handle tough software problems.

Coding Technical Behavioral
The interview experience was not great. The interviewers didn't seem very enthusiastic, although the HR team did a good job. The call quality was bad, and the connection wasn't stable. They asked a few weird questions. The interviewer wrote messy code and asked for the output, and generally seemed disorganized. Their lack of confidence made me question the company's hiring process. To top it off, the interviewer was picking their nose on the video call without realizing they were visible, which was incredibly distracting and annoying.

Technical
Had one phone screen, it was pretty easy to medium difficulty. They asked about frameworks, not really CS fundamentals, more like just tools. Then there was an on-site that was supposed to be scheduled. They got in touch to set up travel accommodations, I gave them my info after they set a time, and then... nothing. No replies to my follow-ups, no 'we hired someone' or 'you're not moving forward'. Just got ghosted by HR after trying to sort out travel. It was pretty unprofessional compared to other companies, who at least respond or reject you.
