Process

The process began with a behavioral phone interview with an HR representative. She was very nice and helpful throughout the entire process.

Next, I completed an online "code sample," essentially a technical interview without direct interaction. This was relatively challenging but manageable.

Following that, I was invited for an onsite interview. While I was in the midst of scheduling, my recruiter called to inform me that they had hired all the graduating students they needed for the year and canceled the onsite interview. I was very bummed about this outcome, but overall, it was a good experience.
