Process
I applied online since my school is not one of their main targeted ones. I received an email to interview within a week, likely due to having another brand name company on my resume.
I had two phone interviews. Both were technical; one was slightly more relaxed and behavioral than the other, but still technical.
I had reviewed Glassdoor's questions an hour before the interview and was lucky enough to have the exact same questions asked. I got the job thanks to you guys!

Everyone is always busy, and if you're on the modems team, expect long work hours.
