Process

The entire process was very organized and quick.

I spoke with representatives at my school's career fair and received an email from a recruiter a few days later for a phone screen.

After that, they asked for a code sample and then followed up with a coding test that I had 24 hours to complete.

Following that, it was a 1-hour technical interview that consisted of a few questions about my resume and interests, and ended with an algorithm question and some code analysis.

Overall, it was one of the most pleasant interview experiences I've had.
