I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at WD (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2018
Interview
A recruiter reached out via email after we met at school career fair. I got one cultural phone screen with her, then moved on to Skype call with two software engineers.
Very rushed interview. 10 mins phone screen and 1 hour technical panel. Lack of updates and slow response time from team. Recruiter does not communicate, only sends emails for interview time.
I applied online. I interviewed at WD (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2026
Interview
Email correspondence. One-hour long technical interview where they gave you a coding challenge and ask about your thought process (flexible on syntax, you can choose your language). Very nice interviewers.

Different team has different process. For me, I got and hr reach-out email, then a first round coding interview, then a final round back-to-back interview with teammembers, manager and skip.
