Process

First, I submitted a resume and was pushed through the process by a university recruiter.

They set up the first technical interview, done through Google Hangouts (I was still on the East Coast finishing my senior year).

I completed a total of four technical interviews over Google Hangouts.

I did well on two of them. For one of them, the recruiter let me know my score was debatable, and they wanted to schedule another one.

After completing the last one shortly after, they let me know I was selected into the Engineering Residency program. Yay!
