Behavioral Technical
I applied through my University's website by submitting my resume and then got an email from one of the Finance managers. I had an on-campus interview about a week later which felt more like a discussion and went well. After that, I was invited for a 2nd round interview in San Jose. This interview had 5 people interviewing me back to back. Everyone was really open and great to talk to, asking challenging but reasonable and relevant questions. The best part was that I didn't feel like anyone was trying to humiliate me or show off; all the questions and discussions were relevant and not obscure.
