Process

Attended a college career fair and got an in-person interview about a week later on the college campus.

My interviewer asked about 4 or 5 "Describe a time when..." behavioral questions and 1 slightly technical question (how to check if a string is a palindrome). They didn't even require the code, just an overview of what the code would do.

Overall a very good experience. I was very nervous, and they were very positive and reassuring throughout the entire interview.

I received a second interview and I'm hoping the second one goes just like the first!

Questions
