Interview
I got an email from HR asking for a HireVue interview. The interview was suppose to be lasting for an hour but ran for almost one and a half hour. I was asked questions literally from a script which was designed to ask all the possible questions you would get at a sophomore/junior level CS classes. I have waited for 7 weeks to get a reply from HR (after emailing them 3 times in seven weeks) and the next steps in the interview process and I still haven't heard from them.
During the interview I was asked several questions and had 2 coding challenges where I had to find bugs and write some small code in Java as well as JavaScript.
