I first talked to an technical recruiter at the fall WPI career fair and applied both online and directly through the card they gave me. Next I was contacted for a short phone screen and was asked to come onsite shortly after (a few days). Onsite I went through 4 ~45 minute technical interviews and was given an offer the same day.
