Process

I had two rounds. One was an on-campus 45-minute technical interview where I was asked a relatively simple coding question and some discussion of the efficiency. The 2nd was an on-site in Redmond, WA, where I had 3 30-minute interviews, including a lunch interview. These were also relatively simple, though I didn't do very well, so I didn't have a 4th. 2-3 weeks after that, I got my rejection.
