I spoke to a recruiter and a senior engineer at University of Maryland's computer science career fair. They were very friendly and said they would likely reach out to me in a few weeks about an interview. I had an interview on campus, it was one on one, we started off with a bit of resume review and discussed my past projects and I was asked why I'm interested in working for a company like Fireside21. This was followed by a short programming challenge, it was very fair and also was not a typical white-board style interview. At the end of the interview I had felt confident that I did a good job and would move on to the next round. Approximately 2-3 weeks later I received an email from my prospective supervisor, congratulating me on making it to the next round and inviting me for an in-office interview at their Penn Quarter, DC office. The office was beautiful and I was sat down in a conference room to meet with three of the members of the engineering team. There was further resume review, asking me questions about what technology stacks I prefer, what I look for in an internship, etc. There was no programming or skills based challenge at this point, but it was clear I had to be knowledgeable about my resume and software development in general. After another week or so, I received an offer letter. Overall, the company is looking for interns who are passionate about technology/development, motivated and aren't afraid of a challenge or facing unfamiliar territory.
