How it went

The candidate's first-ever software engineering internship interview began with a memorable 10-minute discussion on geopolitics before transitioning to technical questions. While the candidate demonstrated proficiency in object-oriented programming concepts, they struggled with database questions, particularly regarding SQL operators. Despite a strong performance on a coding challenge to determine element frequencies in an array, the interviewer noted a need to improve theoretical knowledge and conceptual understanding.
