Process

I met the recruiter at a job/career fair at university.

A few weeks later, I received an email offering me a phone interview. The phone interview was with an engineer and consisted of mostly technical questions. It lasted about an hour.

About a week after the phone interview, I was invited to an onsite interview.

The onsite interview consisted of two one-on-one interviews with engineers. Both interviews mostly consisted of talking about the company and my resume, but included a few technical questions. I was allowed to use a whiteboard for these questions.

About a week later, I was offered an internship.
