Process
Applied through a university career fair.
Received a call within a week and scheduled an interview a week later.
During the interview, I was asked a question on graphs. The experience was pleasant, and the interviewer gave me time to think.
The interview lasted for 45 minutes, and the overall process was smooth.
Received a rejection email a week later.
