Process
I went to my school's career fair. A couple of weeks later, they emailed to say they wanted to schedule a phone interview. This interview consisted of behavioral questions, and then I had a Skype technical interview.
I completely blanked, but the interviewer was super nice and patient. The interview lasted about 30-40 minutes and included one technical question, followed by me asking any questions I might have had.
