Process

I applied at the university career fair. After about two weeks, I received an email about an on-campus interview. It was approximately 30 minutes long.

First, the interviewer asked about my interests and reviewed my resume for about 10 minutes. Then, they asked a technical question: pronouncing numbers. For example, given the integer 123456, I should output "one hundred twenty-three thousand and four hundred fifty-six".

After about two more weeks, I was rejected.
