Process
The process was kind of disappointing, to be honest.
I applied through my school's job board and received an email about an interview. When they called, it was a conference call with about five members of the team. They asked no technical questions, only about my background, and offered information about the position.
After that, I just received an email and a call from a manager with a job offer. I think this approach lets incompetent interns get onboard.
