Process

I submitted my resume online and received a call back within a few days. The recruiter asked me some brief questions about my experience and scheduled a technical phone interview. This interview involved writing code in a shared document, and the questions began fairly basic (finding a sequence in an array with certain properties) but became more complex as I answered them (what about in a tree instead of an array?). The recruiter let me know I made it through the phone screen after about a week and scheduled my on-site interview.

On-site interview consisted of five 45-minute whiteboard coding questions, with a lunch break in the middle. The questions were challenging but similar to those I had studied. After that, there were a series of committees that had to approve, and the recruiter filled me in along the way.
