Process
On campus, I attended a career fair and spoke with a recruiter about courses and projects.
Two months later, I received a notification for a phone interview. After a considerable wait, my interview with the data & ads team was scheduled.
During the phone interview, the questions were relatively simple. In the 45-minute conversation, we first discussed my resume projects, followed by several basic Java questions and data structure programming problems.
Questions
