Process

I was connected by a campus recruiter and set up a time for a phone screen. To my surprise, there were tons of behavioral questions and a brain teaser at the end, with no coding.

My onsite interview was two weeks later. The whole process was amazing.

I checked in at 7:30 AM, and breakfast was provided.

At 8, 9, 10, and 11 AM, interviewers picked me up from the rest area, and each round lasted 45 minutes. I had 15 minutes to rest between two rounds, and I could play with the Xbox and PCs in the rest area.

There were supposed to be four rounds in total, but I only completed three. I received an offer one week later.
