First met with the hiring manager at university career fair, followed by a phone screen then two interviews on site. Overall a pleasant experience, though it took time to hear back on whether I got an offer or not.
First, a Quick introduction mutually, then about 10 mins behavior questions, then a Technical question. It was an easy coding question. In the end, you can ask some questions. It took 30 min totally.
