Behavioral
I networked at my campus career fair, and got an invitation to an on-campus interview the next day. It was with a recruiter and a current software engineer. It was very long (1 hour) of just behavioral questions, and they had a pretty huge packet of questions and were taking notes the entire time. A little while later, I got an invitation to fly on-site and continue interviewing. They provided travel, transportation, and stay. The night I arrived at the location, we (me and the other interviewees) were treated to a fancy dinner with recent New Hires at a local restaurant. It allowed us to ask questions and relax a little before the next day. The actual interviews were the next morning, where we had 3 back-to-back behavioral interviews, 30-minutes each. All interviewers were friendly, personable, and transparent. Then, we got a tour of the facility as well as the surrounding city, which ended in another nice lunch at a fancy restaurant. After that, we all flew home. I think I waited around 2 weeks for a decision, and the recruiters were always very communicative. Definitely a great place to interview and get experience! They treat you like a person and not a potential money-maker.

The communication at the beginning was really good. However, once you get to the onsite interview, things change. The employees didn't make me feel welcome and it was hard to get a conversation going. The process is long and you probably shouldn't get your hopes up. They don't hire a lot of people and you need to be pretty much perfect to get a job.

I interviewed on campus, and the whole thing took one day. I heard back about three weeks after that. The recruiter was super accommodating and responsive, even though they were still interviewing other people and making decisions. The entire process, from the interview to accepting the offer and actually getting hired, took around 90 days.
