Candidate-reported interview process

I applied at the career fair for my university. Emailed the recruiter and we set up a 45 minute video interview. During the interview, we discussed my experience and then they asked me a few technical questions and we did a brief shared coding exercise. Never heard back.

We had a behavioral phone screen, then a technical phone screen, and then a few onsite interviews. The onsite was about 3.5 hours. It included 1 behavioral interview with HR, and then 4-5 technical interviews with senior developers and the VP of Engineering and CTO. Everyone was really friendly.

Had a quick phone chat, then went into the office for five 1 on 1 interviews with different people. They all asked me different kinds of questions, covering stuff like how Java works internally, debugging broken code, and how I'd design a database.
