Process

For new grads, the process starts with a technical 1-hour UML diagramming call.

This is followed by an in-person 5-hour final round that includes a mix of UML diagramming on a whiteboard and behavioral questions.

Questions

They asked me about UML diagramming a lot because they use a proprietary language that is object-oriented. Anyone who understands the concepts would be able to pick up their internal language.
