Process

I talked to them at my college's recruiting event and received a call two days later. I then had an on-campus interview with them. There were three parts:

  • Business case study
  • Technical
  • Behavioral interview

The behavioral interview included standard "when have you ever" questions. The technical part consisted of three different coding-based questions. I only had to code for one of them, and even for that one, I only had to write pseudocode. The case study tested my problem-solving abilities. It was a bit difficult to follow at first, but once I understood the problem, it was just basic algebra.

The interviewers were all really nice and helpful. Overall, the interview lasted three hours.
