After talking to recruiters and engineers at campus events and a career fair, I applied online. Less than a month later, I got two back-to-back, one-hour phone interviews. We used Google Docs for the coding platform. The questions I was asked were vague, though not difficult, and the interviewers were not extremely helpful in clarifying points of confusion. In one interview, I received one question, and in the other, I received two.
After the interviews, I entered the project search phase. After two and a half months, I secured an interview with a host and received an offer shortly thereafter.
I was asked three coding questions, as well as questions about my resume.
