Interview
Recruiter like my resume at the career fair. Gave me a time for an on campus interview. At the interview I was asked about my projects and then some basic behavioral questions. The next half of the interview was technical. I was a given a piece of paper and had to code. This was my first technical interview and I was in the middle of my Data Structures course so I did not do as well.

Interview
The interview process is pretty rigorous while relaxing. Interviewers are nice and polite. They'll give you hints so don't miss them. Try to finish Leetcode or read Cracking the coding interview. You'll do well if you are confident enough on yourself.
