I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Verizon (Ithaca, NY) in Oct 2013
Interview
They probably got my resume from my university career fair. Was contacted for a phone interview that was strictly behavioral - 30 minutes long. Then they immediately told me right after my interview that I was moved onto the next round. Told me to apply online to make the process official and then I was contacted for an oncampus interview. Was half technical and half behavioral - each section lasted about 30-40 minutes. Was contacted about 2-3 weeks after with an offer.
