It was very easy. Even though I was stuttering and couldn't quite answer the questions (I didn't have enough time), the interviewers were so nice and treated me like I had nothing to fear. Overall, very laid-back interview.

easy behavioral and technical questions, and a coding portion. Just basic star behavioral questions with typical responses, this is after an initial hirevue. Technical just tests your data structure knowledge and is not too hard.
