I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Neustar (Sterling, VA) in Mar 2012
Interview
My interview was fairly non-standard, since my interviewer had specifically requested me (we met on a project during my internship last year, and he was impressed with how well I worked for an underclassman university student.). I was presented with an actual problem that the group was planning on having me work on, and was asked about how I would approach the problem. It was very imformal, and very relaxed, with us just sitting in a small conference room and working through the problem.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The only question was about how to solve the problem they were facing.
Our hiring was through on-campus placement drive. There they just ask for the basic(begginer-intermediate) DSA question and basic java/javascript concepts. OOPS should be on point. Project can also be a beneficial point but be sure to describe properly what project you created.
Applied online and was contacted via email for a screening interview. Called in and was put into a conference call with two engineers. They talked about the position and the internship program. When I told them I was currently taking sophomore level courses, the tone of the interview changed. It was almost as if they were trying to dissuade me from pursuing an internship in software development.
