Software Engineer Interview Experience - Boxborough, Massachusetts

The interview process began with a half-hour phone interview with the Hiring Manager, which was not technical.
The second phone interview consisted of a half-hour session of technical questions regarding graphics knowledge and vector math.
The third interview was on-site and comprised seven 45-minute whiteboard/technical sessions. An hour-long lunch was scheduled in between, making my total time there 6.5 hours.
Questions ranged from C++ to graphics and everything in between.
These are extremely intelligent people who are very passionate about what they do. If you are similarly minded, you will have fun!
