Interview
During the onsite interview, there were about 30 of us. There were multiple teams/divisions that were hiring, so the purpose of the final interview round was for each applicant to find a best match. We each interviewed with several teams. The interviews were technical but not coding-heavy. Most of them asked questions about object-oriented programming, such as inheritance and polymorphism. They also asked me to discuss prior projects and my contributions.

Came to my campus' job-fair, took about a month to start calling people. Took a while to set something up as the manager was out of town.
