I was contacted by a recruiter through LinkedIn. After a behavioral interview and a phone screen (topic: input sorting - see the interview question below), I was flown out to Kirkland to interview in person.

The interview process there was pretty typical compared to what you see here: several interviews over the course of a day, each about an hour long, along with an hour for lunch. Each interview covered one or two questions.

The people were all pretty nice. I enjoyed talking with both my recruiters (the first recruiter, who did recruiting for multiple offices, and the second recruiter, who dealt only with the Washington area), although the salary negotiations were pretty annoying. Be prepared to deal with tactics meant to push your salary lower than you would want otherwise (although the offer was pretty damn reasonable to begin with, so I can't complain).

I'm not sharing any questions from the interview process here, as per the frequently mentioned NDA. Suffice it to say that you will receive ample information on what you need to prepare ahead of time. See other reviews for what your interview will look like; they're all pretty much on the ball.

After the interview, you're run past a hiring committee, then submitted to VPs for approval, then salary negotiations, followed by the final offer.

Given a set of inputs, sort them such that the preceding digit alternates higher, then lower than the preceding digit (i.e., 1, 5, 2, 8, 5, 10, 1, 6, 2, 3, 1, 3, 2, 10).
