Process
I applied through university and received a HackerRank challenge. Following that, I was invited for an on-campus interview.
The on-campus interview was 45 minutes long and consisted of questions about my resume and experience, along with a whiteboard coding problem.
I did not pass this phase, but I believe the next and final step is an on-site interview.
Overall, the interview was okay. The interviewer wasn't rude, but also wasn't the friendliest person.
