I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sphero in May 2018
Interview
Applied to Sphero's Software Engineering Intern position. Felt pretty confident and comfortable, but did not get an offer. Questions were much easier than I anticipated. Passed phone interview and code challenges. Met with the team at the office. In retrospect, the mistake I made was that I was too chill during the interview.
