I talked to a recruiter at a university career fair who asked me some basic technical questions just to see where I was at. Then, a few days later, they invited me to their office in Burlington, MA for an interview. The interview itself included three technical interviews and a short analytical thinking test. The whole thing took about 2.5 hours and was done by 11:30 am.
