My college classmate referred me to the college recruiter. I had a 45-minute phone call with the recruiter and was immediately scheduled for an on-site interview without any technical phone screen.

On the day of the on-site interview, I had a quick meeting with the recruiter and was sent on a shuttle to meet my first interviewer. Interviews were held at the interviewers' offices. After every interview, I was asked to stay in the kitchen area while the interviewer went to fetch the next one. In general, each interview was 75 minutes long, with the first 10 minutes dedicated to a quick chat about my experience and technical projects. The remaining time was for coding questions. There was one lunch interview, which lasted 90 minutes. I first had lunch with the interviewer, and we chatted about my education, experience, etc. We then headed back to his office for a couple of coding questions.

There were 5 interviews in total, though I heard that if you are sent home after your third interview (the lunch interview), then you are pretty much out of the race. The last interview was with someone at the director level. He also asked me a short coding question but mostly inquired about my aspirations and tried to figure out which team I would fit in best.

After the last interview, I had the option to leave or meet with the recruiter once more.

We were paid for the flight, food, hotel, car rental, plus a $75 allowance for sightseeing.

Typically, coding interview questions involve binary search trees, strings, and linked lists.
