Process

HireView with behavioral questions and a really simple coding question, followed by an explanation of your code. I was invited to a final interview, which was three interviews back-to-back. The first two were behavioral, and they asked me about previous internships and coursework. My final interview was more technical. I feel like I didn't do perfect on this, but it seems like it didn't matter as much as the behavioral portions.
