Process
I am an MS New Grad who recently completed three rounds of onsite interviews. Each interview lasted less than an hour, consisting of two technical interviews and one talk with a recruiter.
For the technical interviews, I was asked questions about C++, algorithms, and data structures. The interviews were not overly difficult.
