I initially chatted with a recruiter at my University Career Fair. A few days later, I had a 30-minute interview. About a week after that, I set up an onsite interview. Before the onsite, I was given a technical challenge to complete. The onsite itself was a half-day event, including technical interviews, cultural fit interviews, and a meeting with the chief architect.
