Process
I was contacted by university recruiting and asked for an interview.
An on-campus interview was scheduled with an HR representative, but it was rescheduled to a Webex (video chat) interview with a software engineer.
The interview was about an hour long and consisted of questions about my resume, very basic technical questions, and a few behavioral questions.
I got along really well with my interviewer and received an offer a week later.
Questions

What's the difference between languages like Ruby and C?
What is the runtime using BST?
