Process
Applied through the college's career website and also applied on their website. Requires a resume and still needs to fill quite some forms by hand. Need to fill in major. Sent me an online test link (a very simple coding question) and also an online video link in one week, and nothing from there. Checked 1 month later on their website that my application had been declined (and no email will be sent to you).
