Process
I applied online and was then given a HireVue coding test and a video interview question.
The coding test was pretty standard, focusing on Java string questions. The HireVue video interview simply asked why I majored in my chosen field.
I do not know what comes next, as that's all I've experienced so far. I assume the next step would be an onsite or phone interview.
