Phone call with HR, followed by a phone call with the Hiring Manager/Director a few days later. An in-person interview was scheduled a few days later. I had to reschedule a couple of times, and they were extremely understanding and gracious, allowing me to reschedule at my convenience.

The in-person interview lasted a little over 3 hours. The goodies bag was definitely new to me and was very thoughtful. I was given a tour of their office and then had a technical coding exercise session, followed by a general skills review session with extra stress on unit testing. A round with HR, which was more informational, and then finally a session with the hiring director, which was also very informational with some high-level application scalability and agile software process questions thrown in.

Overall, a very good experience, and Credit Karma gets my kudos for the way they treated me throughout the process.

Once the offer was accepted, the screening process for background and references took an additional 2 weeks.

Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized horses or 1 horse-sized duck?
