Process

On-campus interview followed by a day of interviews at the headquarters. Getting the interview was left much to be desired. The recruiter canceled the on-site interview a day before a long holiday and, as a result, was out of the office without communication about what would happen. Once it was rescheduled, the process was relatively easy. The interviewers were nice, although they didn't really seem interested in the behavioral part and only asked technical questions.
