Process
The interview was pretty easy, but they are very selective about their hiring. Basically, if you answer even one question incorrectly, you can forget about getting hired. I couldn't understand on what basis they evaluate candidates, though, because I think I answered questions correctly. They were hiring for their software developer position in Chicago.
