Candidate-reported interview process
The interview was straightforward. It seemed like they were more interested in my ability to learn rather than just what I already knew. The questions were mainly about general concepts and whether I understood them and how I'd used them before.
They will ask some soft questions about your resume and programming languages. Be ready to talk about your personal/college projects in detail. Also, they'll check if you're okay with working on base (depending on the location).
I had an hour-long video call with two managers. They asked me behavioral and technical questions to see what I knew. It was a pretty chill vibe, they were nice, but I never heard back.
