Process
The process started with a recruiter contacting me.
I then had two phone interviews.
After that, I was invited on-site for five rounds of interviews, each one hour long.
I had a follow-up interview with the hiring manager over the phone a week later.
This position was for the IBM Spark Technology Center in San Francisco.
