I met them at a Job Fair at my university and left my resume. They emailed me the same day to set up an interview for the next day. It was with two IP recruiters who had a sheet with all the questions. About half were about me and the other half were STAR questions, and they wrote down my answers. It lasted about 40 minutes.

Had a phone interview with some standard questions, then got called back right away for a face-to-face meeting. About 20 minutes into that, after I answered the same questions again, they said they needed to reschedule, but they never did.
