I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2014
Interview
Hour long interview on campus and a coding question to finish afterwards on my own. Received offer 2 weeks later.
They asked a lot of questions about my projects, really wanted me to drill down to what I'm looking for out of an internship, my long term goals, technical proficiencies, how I deal with difficult people/situations, etc. They were extremely nice and were able to give me direct information on what potential areas I'd be working in as an intern. That said, it was pretty exhausting. Do not come in cold and unprepared!

Question 1
Write a function that will parse the number of words in a given string without using a quick two line solution
Casual, interview with manager who would be my direct manager over zoom call. Asked a lot of personality/experience questions. Did not feel interrogated, it felt more like a conversation to see if I would be a culture fit.
I applied online. I interviewed at Starbucks (Taipei)
Interview
They’ll start by asking some basic personal questions, then move on to situational questions — for example, who you should listen to between a supervisor and a coworker, how you would handle a customer complaint, whether you have any experience in the food and beverage industry, or if you’ve had any work or internship experience while studying.
