Software Engineering Interview Experience - Tempe, Arizona
Process
I applied on the website after visiting their booth at my university's career fair, and I was invited to an interview on campus the following week.
The interview consisted of two separate 45-minute sessions, each with one person asking behavioral questions. Both interviewers were relatively friendly and engaging.
I was later invited to their "super day" for a second round of interviews, which narrowed down to about 20 students. This included a tour around their campus and again two separate interview sessions.
One of the interviewers also included his own technical questions not on the packet they were given, while the other stuck to the standard behavioral questions. Some of these were repeats of questions from the first round.
