I inquired through email after my college passed on a message that a specific team was hiring shortly after I graduated. I applied officially online.

I had a short phone interview, followed by two more 30-minute phone interviews within a week. Mostly, they just told me about what they did. They only really asked me to tell them about myself. I asked questions and tried to be 'insightful'. They implied I was hired, but I had to take an IQ-type test.

It took a while to get through that and the background check (although they never actually said it was a background check, just asked details about my prior work and education). That part was outsourced to India and was very slow, taking about a week.

The IQ test says you don't need to prepare, but I was frustrated to find I could barely remember the quadratic equation and other algebra topics you haven't used in years that were needed for the timed test. I think I did horribly, but they don't tell you how you did.

I got an official offer letter from the Indian recruiting department, including bonus and relocation, about a week later.

Tell me about yourself.
