Process
I applied online through my college's career website.
I was contacted within about four or five weeks and was told to respond with my availability for three phone interviews.
The woman with whom I was communicating was great. During the interview, we communicated over the telephone and shared a document on Google Docs. I coded for them on the Google Doc, and they gave me immediate feedback.
Two out of three of the interviewers were aggressive and not very kind. It was clear they had no interest in who I was, just what I knew.
