Found the opportunity on my university's job website. Applied online via a form on Nordstrom.com Received an email within reasonable time and scheduled a phone screen. Nothing technical, just a discussion about my resume. I guess to see if I had common sense. Scheduled an on-site interview. Left me with a homework assignment to show them during the on-site interview. Design a system basically, and they intentionally leave it really vague and broad to "see how we think". It wasn't even specified if they wanted code, class design, or just written word abstractions. At the on-site interview in Seattle, there were about 20 others with me. It started with group discussion and a really casual open-forum discussion environment. There was quite a large emphasis on the workplace culture. They also spoke a lot about their desire to bring in fresh ideas through an internship program (this was their first formal technology internship). All of it was relaxed and really demonstrated the 'start-uppy' culture that tech strives for. The one-on-one interviews were easy. First one was with an engineer. They seemed unprepared and all of us got a wide range of questions (granted we were also all looking for different positions). I was looking for an SWE internship, and got asked about my coursework. I talked about my lower-level C course which led us into a discussion about caching and memory allocation, etc. Never had a straight 'trivia' question asked. Never had to write code. Just discussed. Others differed. Generally it was pretty simple for an SWE position, but they interviewers in general just seemed to be winging it.
