Process

I was initially contacted by a recruiter around the end of November 2013. The two phone interviews, which are standard procedure, were initially set for the week after fall quarter finals. They are usually back-to-back.

However, my second interview was postponed the day of until after the new year. Both interviews were basically coding questions only. The second interviewer briefly asked me about my resume and to talk about a coding project I was proud of.

I received word that I passed the interviews and was moving on the day after my second interview. I did not receive an offer until three weeks later (they also expedited my process because I had a competing offer).

The phone interviews were very pleasant; the interviewers were very courteous. It was definitely one of the better interview experiences I have had while applying for summer internships.

Questions

I signed an NDA, but the questions were basically slight variants of ones found in the book Cracking the Coding Interview.
