The interview process wasn't too intensive, I found it fairly easy. I met with the 2 hiring managers together, then an HR representative. They mainly all wanted to get a sense of who I am, what skills I have, and if I would be a good fit at GMO and on their team. The 2 hiring managers asked me questions about my soft-skills, background, and interest in the company and position. The HR rep just asked me about my background/resume for the most part; I think he was there to provide a second opinion to the hiring managers. None of the questions stumped me or were too difficult if you are able to talk about yourself. Overall, I found it very easy to get along with all 3 interviewers, and I felt more comfortable than I have in most interviews (which led me to accept the offer).

Behavioral Technical
I had a phone screen, which was mostly behavioral questions. Then I went onsite, and the questions weren't too hard. They asked basic things about programming and my past projects. I spoke with three people: someone from the department, my potential direct supervisor, and a manager. There were basic questions, pretty standard stuff. The technical part was straightforward.

I applied through my school and then I had an onsite interview with HR and some of the people who would be my coworkers. It was about two and a half hours long. I got the offer by the end of that same week.
