Process

My interview process was fairly intensive, as I was interviewing for a critical position. I believe the behavior of the people in my process was normal, but the length and intensity might not be similar. Anyway, I had an initial phone screening with HR, followed by a phone screening with the hiring manager. This was followed by an on-site interview in the office I will be working out of, and lastly, an on-site interview in Palo Alto. Everyone was very nice, and there weren't any ridiculous questions meant to trick you. They were just straight-forward: "Can you do the work?"
