Mercari India – Software Engineer Intern Experience

Hi, My name is Thari Zephaniah. I had the incredible opportunity to be one of the first Software Engineer Interns hired by Mercari India. In this post, I will be taking you through my entire journey, starting from the initial interview process all the way to receiving a Pre-Placement Offer (PPO). Motivation To tell you a little bit about the company, Mercari is an e-Commerce company where users can buy and sell products. Since my sophomore year, I’ve been keen on Mercari.

Off-site in May

At Mercari, we had an offsite on 3rd May.We enjoyed bowling, laser shooting games, and other team-bonding activities 🤝 After team activities, we went to Roxie to have dinner together. Off-site allows for more significant interaction with members of the team who are generally not on the same team. You may even discover a new side to your team members when you take a break from work.The Mercari office is increasing, but we value the interaction between team members. We welcomed new young members this month, and the office became even more lively! 😎 Where do you think is the best place to go on a team off-site? Tell me in the comments! #MercariIndia #Offsite This blog is the original post of our Linkedin. Let’s Follow Mercari India’s Linkedin!!
