Applied online. My application was reviewed after 65 days.

I got an email within a day to have a phone conversation. I spoke with the hiring manager the following day. The same day, I was asked to do an online programming challenge and submit my code within the next 3 days (it was a long weekend).

I did not have time to work on the problem, so I only spent an hour and submitted a semi-solved (working duo) solution with an explanation of why and how it could be improved.

The recruiter got back to me with an extension and asked me to please work more and see if I could do it any better!

I spent 3-5 hours and solved it marvellously!!

A day after submission, I was invited to join the team at the studio. The HR person was very accommodating in setting it according to my schedule!

I spent 5 hours on campus meeting with the team members and managers:

• SE team member (1 hr)
• SE team member and a senior manager from another team (1 hr)
• Team's tech manager (1 hr)
• Break (.5 hr)
• Hiring manager (.5 hr)
• My recruiter (.3 hr)

Technical interview questions covered almost everything from design, architecture, and general Q about Java coding and under the hood, mostly relative to my own experience and the team's needs.

Very friendly people and a laid-back environment.

If I want to sum it up, I loved it :)

The whole process took me over 4 weeks, but mostly because of my own schedule. If I take my side out, it was 1-2 weeks.

Nothing that difficult!
