Process

The process was very straightforward. My application was received, and I got a call from a member of the staffing team to go over the interview process and set up a time for the phone screen.

After the phone screen, you can move on to in-person interviews. If you do well enough on those, you go to the hiring committee.

Overall, it was a great experience! Even though I didn't get hired, I'll be back for another try. You'll learn a lot, even if you don't get hired.

Biggest tip: Practice whiteboard coding and do a mock interview, even if you just have a friend help you. Time and space are very different when coding on a whiteboard.
