I applied through a recruiter. The interview process was one round. The company is in a prime location. People were nice and kind. There was no pressure. Nothing special. Two supervisors asked the typical questions for entry level.

They did a basic interview asking about my resume, job history, and if I knew anything about the company. I was told the work culture is old school Korean. I interviewed with my direct boss and a C-level officer or VP from the department.

Had a technical interview covering different programming languages like Java and .Net. They asked about my work experience developing enterprise resource planning applications, specifically with SAP. I also had to fill out a background check application. They went over my resume in detail, including job titles, applications I developed, and the IT processes at my past employers.
