Process
The hardest part was getting offered the interviews.
I applied through the website as well as emailed a contact from my university. About three to four weeks later, I heard back from a recruiter.
I had two technical phone interviews (not too bad; I felt like luck was a factor) followed by a longer host-matching period.
I just went with the first host that contacted me because I liked the position and didn't want to risk not getting an offer in the end.
Questions
Under NDA - can't talk about these.
Reviewing your algorithms book won't hurt, however.
