Process
The interview included standard technical questions, which were actually fairly easy. One question, however, stumped me: it had to do with bit-wise operations. Frankly, we never covered them at my university, and I haven't encountered them professionally.
I had two phone calls, and the second one went better than the first. The interviewer on the first call seemed genuinely upset about my double major and repeatedly asked why I had decided to pursue it.
