Process
I applied online and was contacted by HR, who asked for my transcripts.
After sending my transcripts, they called and discussed my background, the projects I have completed, and the programming languages I use. They then scheduled a technical phone interview weeks later.
The technical interview was not difficult if you were prepared. However, I failed.
The HR representative called the following week and informed me that they had decided to move forward with other candidates. They suggested I reapply in five months.
Questions
No difficult questions. The interviewer jumped to the question directly.
