Process
I met with university recruiters on campus and spent 5-10 minutes speaking a little about myself. They looked over my resume, and then we set up a Webex interview to speak with someone else later on in a few weeks.
During the Webex interview, there were a few technical questions, but most were behavioral questions and areas that I would like to work on.
Questions
The initial questions were designed to understand your personality. The technical questions depend on the specific department you wish to join.
