Interview
I interviewed as part of on-campus recruiting through my university. The interview was extremely relaxed. The interviewer was only a few years out of college and talked informally to me a lot. Was very up front in telling me the biggest attraction to the job for him was the salary. We spent most of the interview discussing a prompt they had emailed to me beforehand.

Interview
The interview was more of a conversation than a series of questions - we talked about a social issue that interests me. It seemed like they were interested in learning about the way I think through problems, not just about past work experience. The second round was a writing sample about a current issue in tech.

Interview
I went to a recruitment event at my school, then applied through my school's career website. The interview was brief and conversational. The formal part was only 15 minutes, but we spent another 10 minutes discussing my questions and other things. The next step was submitting a 750-1000-word analysis of a given topic in technology.

Question 1
Not as difficult as I would have thought. I wasn't grilled on my qualifications, but they wanted to know more about me. Questions like "Where do you see yourself in 10 years?" "What was the most recent book you read?" "What recent technology have you seen in the news that has really interested you?"
