Candidate-reported interview process

I applied during a campus recruiting event, and got an interview scheduled pretty quickly, within the next day. It was a 30-minute interview with two interviewers who took turns asking questions. They focused on behavioral stuff and things from my resume. They saved about 5-10 minutes at the end for me to ask them questions. After this, I think there was a background check.

The interview process involved questions about teamwork and problem-solving abilities. They also asked about how previous experiences would fit the job tasks. It wasn't too complicated, pretty straightforward.

The interview was heavy on non-technical, situational knowledge. It was hard but fair for an entry-level job.
