Xero Software Engineer Intern interview questions

1. Coding challenge that you have about a week to complete. Array manipulation, type conversion, base conversion, simple algorithms, application of data structures. I found it slightly difficult. I would recommend researching how hash maps can be used in data structures. 2. Video interview, i.e. an interview where you respond to questions in a pre-recorded video format. Fairly non-technical. 3. Non-technical live interview via Zoom. Two interviewers, both friendly and accommodating. Plenty of time to think. 4. Technical live interview via Zoom. Similar to non-technical live interview. The main event is your walkthrough of a project you've worked on to the interviewers. 5. Researching a topic and presenting it to a group via Zoom. Topics are not incredibly complex and require no prior knowledge. No expectation to use academic sources. Short presentation. I would recommend a fairly simple structure (define the topic, form an opinion, forward outlook). Stages 3-5 take place within a 3-hour period on one day.
