Process

First, I had an interview with a senior developer. He asked me for my current job and function.

Then he asked about projects that I've worked on and to explain how I approached them. The mood was very relaxed.

Next, I received an assignment to process a bit of data (MapReduce).

Following that, I had an interview with a project manager, who was evaluating my company fit, I guess.

Finally, I was asked to undergo a security check for a third investigative party. This involved granting permission to investigate my Yahoo account and PayPal account, among other things. It was something about relations with countries on the US terror list. I found this peculiar, as I was living in Amsterdam and the job was in Amsterdam.

The process took a long time. In the meantime, I found another job. I called them to thank them for the opportunity they had given me and to let them know that I had found another position.
