It was great; my interviewer was friendly and made the entire process clear. She was very sociable and easy to talk to and very knowledgeable about the company.
I only received a phone interview and after I 'passed' it, I was administered an analytical assessment that was largely math-based and had two written components.
All-in-all, my communication with HR and my interviewer was flawless and prompt. It was a great experience.

Had on-campus interview that was lengthy but didn't seem to dive into who the candidate actually was.
