I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at American Airlines
Interview
A campus recruiter came to my university to interview several candidates. While the questions were technical and Java related, the recruiter seemed to be on my side and fed me some hints. Overall, he made the experience very easy and stress-free. Some questions on garbage collection, the error stack, etc. but nothing too challenging or involved.
