Process
I applied for the position through a career fair at my university and was given a 30-minute in-person interview on campus.
The interview was a little rushed because everything was behind schedule that day, but it was not incredibly difficult. The majority of the interview was based on behavioral questions.
The reason the process took a long time was that all of the final round interview slots they were offering conflicted with my exam schedule.
The final round consisted of four interviews in a row, from around 11:00 AM to 4:30 PM. The interviewers were all incredibly helpful, and although I did not perform very well in the interviews, they allowed me to relax and stay calm throughout the whole day.
