I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Nokia (Burlington, MA) in Oct 2013
Interview
They contacted me after we talked briefly at a job fair. They were pleasant and after a brief conversation asked to schedule an in person interview. I drove down to their Burlington, MA location, and they saw me promptly. The interview itself was with four people; all software engineers and software architects. They asked me 4 main questions, most of which led to offshoot discussions. They started the interview off with a logic puzzle type question. After that it seemed they had a long list of questions, but they asked at what point I was at in my schooling and which classes I had taken; then asked all further questions based on my answers. i felt what they did ask was relevant to my schooling, and all of them were incredibly pleasant and helped me work through the answers when I wasn't sure.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The logic question at the beginning. The question was, "You're in a room with 3 switches. In the next room over are 3 lights. You can't see the lights in the next room. You can flip the switches as many times as you'd like, but you can only have one on at a time. How can you tell which light goes to which switch?"
It was generally okay. They asked a lot of questions about almost everything written on my CV, which made the interview feel quite detailed and intense at times. However, their questions were relevant and showed that they had carefully reviewed my background. At the same time, they were helpful, supportive, and genuinely nice throughout the conversation, which made the overall experience more comfortable and positive.

Interview
The atmosphere during the interview was quite relaxed, which helped ease my nerves. The interviewer had a warm smile and a friendly demeanor, making it easy to engage in conversation. We chatted about my background and experiences, and they asked insightful questions that really made me think. I appreciated how they listened attentively and provided feedback throughout, creating a dialogue rather than a simple Q&A. Overall, it felt more like a discussion between two colleagues rather than a formal interview, which made the entire experience enjoyable and memorable.
