Process

A phone call was followed by a flight to headquarters for on-campus interviews. The process was very approachable and friendly.

The phone interview consisted of general questions and brainteasers. The on-campus interviews were more technical in nature.

Lunch was provided, though the day was quite long to get through. There were frequent 15-minute breaks between four 45-minute interviews.
