Process
Called for an on-campus interview after the Career Fair.
The first interview was 30 minutes long and included typical data structure questions.
I solved the problem, but they were looking for junior candidates.
Ensure your data structures knowledge is very strong.

Nothing really hard.

Pros: I've been blown away by the people here and the amount of focus they have on bringing the best of the best into this amazing company culture. It's awesome that they emphasize making an impact and keeping their employees happy by continually challenging them and giving them so much awesome stuff to work on.
Cons: Since I've started at the company, I haven't left work before 7 at night, which isn't too late. It just makes me worry a little bit for how long I will start staying in the future when I get more ramped up.
