Process

At the campus career fair, I was asked, "What's your biggest passion as a software engineer?" I answered "Game design."

The second round of the campus interview notes stated they would ask and require coding during the interview. I prepared heavily for coding, but met an HR representative who was not a Software Development Engineer. They asked some normal behavioral questions.
