Process
The interview process consisted of a phone screening with HR, a phone interview with the hiring manager, and then an on-site interview with 3 team members, each an hour long. The interview questions spanned your average swath of CS trivia: deadlock, threads, message passing, and advanced data structures. I was shown a piece of code and told to find the errors. There were basic logic puzzles as well.
