The interviewer was nice and asked me two questions. I got the first one right and almost finished the second one when time ran out around the 50-minute mark. I felt good about it and thought I'd get a second interview. But when I followed up after 6 days, I got a standard rejection really fast. I emailed the interviewer twice and he never replied. This makes me think the company is generally negligent, as the initial recruiter was also uncaring. If you don't want to waste your time, look for jobs elsewhere.

I found the intern job opening on LinkedIn and applied. After that, a recruiter reached out via email to have me complete a Hacker Round. Following the Hacker Round, I had a phone screening which was a coding round. The questions were pretty challenging and involved some trickiness.

The online interview was a bit harder than I thought it would be, but it wasn't too bad. It involved data structures and commenting on how to improve some code they gave us. You have to watch out for the time limit because it can sneak up on you.
