Process

The on-campus interview lasted about 45-50 minutes. The interviewer was friendly.

He first gave a quick description of his work, and then asked me about my background and experiences.

During the second half of the interview, he asked me to write the solution to a coding problem on paper.

Afterwards, I received no response for two weeks regarding my progress.
