I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Braintree
Interview
Interviewed with two engineers on team, mostly behavioral with emphasis on technical details of projects. Felt rushed in explaining projects (they cut me off after around five minutes) and call ended quite early because they expected me to ask many more questions than I had prepared.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a technical project that you have worked on.
Talked to the recruiter over a phone call and discussed behavioral questions, mainly about my resume. Then she sent a link for a coding challenge for the next step. This was a little challenging but not too difficult.
I applied through university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Braintree (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2019

Question 1
Go into the technical details of a project you've worked on.
I applied through university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Braintree (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2018
Interview
I talked with Braintree for the first time at my college's career fair. I talked to a current software engineer and was told (if anything) I would be contacted by a recruiter for a coding challenge. About a week to two weeks later, I got an email to start the coding challenge. I was given a week to complete it. The next business day(after submitting) I got a call which I was told I was moving onto the next round which was a phone interview. I talked to two other engineers currently at Braintree and we talked about previous projects I have worked on. Mostly talked about how I went about solving the project, testing, any road blocks, etc. I got a call a day or so after saying they wanted me to come onsite for an interview. The onsite interview was all day (10am - 4:30 pm) and consisted of 4 main parts. The first part was an hour and half where I talked with 2 engineers about past projects again as well as solved some "puzzle problems". The next part was lunch (1 hour) with a different set of engineers where we talked more casually about Braintree as a whole and they asked me questions about past projects but nothing too in depth. The third part was product whiteboarding with another set of engineers(hour and a half). They give you some kind of app and you need to go through and talk about how you would make it. This is more of a conversation than me talking to them. The last section was with yet another set of engineers where it is a pair programming session. They pull up your coding challenge submission and ask to make some kind of extension on it. As I did this I had to explain what I was doing during each step.
