      Software Engineer(Internship) Interview

      18 Dec 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Jose, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Flipboard (San Jose, CA) in Oct 2021

      Interview

      The interview process was easy. Leetcode questions are replaced with a take-home assignment. The engineers were nice. The recruiter was nice as well. However, I ended up hearing nothing back from them, even though they did talk as if they would hire me already. The recruiter at the final round interview told me that she would reach back after like a month about the offer and salary (she even told me I could STOP INTERVIEWING FOR OTHER COMPANIES if I want, which makes me think I am guaranteed for an offer). And finally, I did not hear anything from them even after a follow-up email. I never knew what happened, and definitely don't want to know. It was really bad since I really liked the engineers and thought that I could trust the recruiter. Luckily, I did not stop interviewing for other places like what the recruiters promised me. Overall, this is very unprofessional for me. If a recruiter from the company can see this, then I hope you don't promise the same thing again to any other candidates and please think about their emotions!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1st interview (after finishing the take-home assignment): Thoughts on the take-home assignment and general questions about the assignment (language choice, improvements, a few situations that the program may get into, etc). A few more things about school and CV. 2nd interview: Pretty much about the CV, past projects + experience, and learning style.
