I submitted an application, which included essays, a resume, and a transcript. I then had two 45-minute phone interviews before being sent to the hiring committee for review.

I was interviewed by software engineers and assisted through the process by a recruiter, who was awesome. Overall, everyone was very encouraging and kind, even though I did not receive a final offer. I was very impressed with the interview process.

I signed an NDA, so I can't mention specific questions asked, but the interview covered:

• Reading/interpreting code
• Theoretical algorithm questions
• Writing code

What you will find online is pretty representative of the interview questions. Also, your recruiter will send you a PowerPoint presentation with topics to study.
