The interview was welcoming and informative. They were thorough and understanding, and willing to train and develop new talent. It was a great experience, and the department was great to work with. I couldn’t have asked for a better position to work as a student.

I applied in May 2014 by emailing my resume and cover letter, and then I didn't hear back for an interview until June. It was a pretty basic interview, mostly just a get-to-know-you type of chat. Having a great GPA and being involved on campus is definitely a plus for this role!

It was a series of interviews in one day. You first have a 1:1 interview with someone from higher management. Then, you have a group interview with about 2-4 people, including potential coworkers and higher management. They ask questions about your skills and what you want to learn.
