Process
Applied through a campus career fair.
Was given on-campus interviews. These consisted of two 30-minute sessions with different interviewers.
Then interviewed on-site in Phoenix. Again, there were two 30-minute sessions with different interviewers.
Both rounds asked behavioral and technical questions.
The second interviewer for the on-campus interview asked one problem-solving question to, I think, try and understand your thought process in approaching a problem.
Interviewers read from a sheet of questions given to them.
Questions
Basic object-oriented programming and data structures programs.
