Interview questions [1]
Question 1
When was a time you experienced injustice, how did you deal with it and what was the outcome?
I went to my school job fair, got an interview right after. They got back to me in 2-ish weeks with an offer. Interview was very relaxed. It was with one person in the industry and the hiring manager. No hard questions, they just asked you about your work experience, project experience, and relevant courses that you are taking. Be confident and you will be fine.

On Campus after Career Fair. It was an easy process but they didn't get back to me until I approached them about my decision. They didn't ask much about techinacal knowledge. It was more of behavioral questions
