Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Met an on-campus recruiter during a college career fair. Got an email within a week. Was given a phone screen, a coding test, and then a Skype screen. The first one was behavioral, and the Skype screening was completely technical. The interview was average. Know your data structures and be prepared to talk about past projects!
