Process
I applied online after finding out about the program through my campus recruiting site. I was contacted by a member of HR, who set me up with two phone interviews.
One interview was behavioral and fit-based. The other was half code-reading and half code-writing on a Google Doc. The process was fairly fast and efficient, and the interviewers were very nice.
Questions
Asked to read code and write basic sort/search algorithms, then optimize them.
Some abstract recursion questions.
