Process

I had a total of 9 interviews over two days. The interviews increased in difficulty as I progressed, and the interviewers increased in rank as I progressed.

On the first day, I spoke with a total of five people. The questions were very basic, and the interviewers were very nice. I answered the questions well, and the atmosphere was relaxed. The questions were mostly technical, but some casual conversation was involved. By the end of the day, the last interviewer mentioned that I had been competing against people with more experience and that my chances were slim. However, she added that my resume stood out and that there was a reason why some interviewers had pushed my resume.

On the second day, I had another four interviews. One interviewer came in out of order and kept looking at his watch throughout the interview. He gave me a "ballbuster" type interview. Another person who interviewed me asked a simple technical question, which I answered very well. In response, the next interviewer grilled me on a difficult technical question.
