Software Engineering Intern
My experience
Overview
My team of interns developed a point-of-sale app for an Android device with built in barcode scanner. We started from wireframes/sketches provided by a designer and built a full PoS flow through the app.
Pros
A substantial project with real value
Cons
Even on a project started completely from scratch, we had to deal with significant legacy tech with insufficient documentation
Impact of work
Time spent working

Interview questions
A decent portion of the interview related to data structures and OOP knowledge, but the questions were not difficult. I don't fully remember the questions but "which is better: array list or linked list" was a conceptual question I was asked and "determine if a string is a palindrome" is a coding question I was asked.
Advice on how to prepare
Make sure you're comfortable with the basics of OOP and data structures and algorithms.
