The interview process began with a phone call to the hiring manager to discuss my background, skills, and experience, as well as the position available within the company.

It sounded promising, so I moved on to a one-hour technical phone screen where I was given two problems to solve by writing code in a language of my choosing.

I was able to talk through the questions with the interviewer to clarify them and explain my thought process.

I was then offered to come up to NYC for a four-part interview.

The onsite interview covered:

• Systems architecture design
• REST service design
• Another set of coding problems
• A friendly, non-intimidating hour covering 'soft skills' and career goals

I wouldn't classify the questions as difficult, but they were more thought-provoking than most of the other interviews I went on.

I was given a verbal description of a service and asked to write a REST-style interface for it. The requirements kept evolving as the question progressed.
