The interview was relaxing. The interviewer asked some technical questions, like front-end fundamentals. Then discussed overall internship projects. The interview lasted about 30 minutes. There should be a manager interview, but then the offer was extended.

Interview
Got invited to SWE Internship Power day. It had 2 back to back interviews. Questions were on random things. They asked Leetcode easy/medium questions and also Linked list questions. I used C++ for this.
2 rounds back to back First round by a manager, second round by an engineer. A little weird since the manager interviewer asked me a few question not strongly related to software engineering.
