Process

I turned in a paper resume at my college career fair and, to my great surprise, received an email inviting me to travel for onsite interviews – no phone screen.

I "interviewed" with 5 teams, but all of them viewed it as a foregone conclusion that I would be hired. They only asked really soft questions and told me about their teams.

No coding tests at all, except one that was very clearly for their background info and not for a hiring decision (i.e., how much to train me).

This was the most unexpected experience possible.
