I applied at a university career fair and secured an on-campus interview in February. I was informed there were no available positions on the team I was interested in. The recruiter reached out to me again in August. After a phone interview, I was invited for an on-site interview.
The entire process was smooth. They covered all expenses. Everyone I met was very nice. I met with other interview candidates at the 111 building. They took us to the company store and out for lunch.
In the afternoon, I had four one-on-one interviews with individuals from different groups. I heard back from the recruiter the next day.
Nothing unexpected.
