In this interview we're covering:

  • Mistakes while creating an internship program for software engineers
  • Recruiting to an internship program
  • Evaluating candidates going into the program
  • Evaluating candidates at the end of the program
  • Choosing teams and mentors for interns
  • Stages and expectations in an internship program

Excerpt from the interview:

"Early on, we put the new interns into their own team, gave them a task to rewrite a system or a project for us, and checked in on them periodically. The point wasn’t to test whether they could do it, but we thought it was a good way to gain experience.

It didn’t work out well.

This is why we transitioned to embedding interns into teams to give them the full experience of working on a product engineering team."
