Applied through university. The process took a month.
First talked about past experience. Then I was given some programming test. It was not really difficult, but it took me some time. The interviewer seemed to expect me to complete it very quickly. I can feel the contempt from the interviewer after I gave him my answer. I wasn't a very pleasant experience.
