The first round interviews were conducted on my university campus. The interview was a standard length of 30-45 minutes. In the interview, they asked me to walk through my resume and then we dived into the technical portion. Within a day I was told I would move onto the second/final round.

The final round interview consists of four, technical, 1-hour length interviews with a lunch break in between. Then followed by a tour of the headquarters in Arlington, VA. They do fly you out for the interview and house you in a lovely hotel in downtown DC and take you out for an amazing dinner + drinks in a fancy DC restaurant.

Overall, the interview process is amazing. They are extremely well organized and friendly. I had a scheduling conflict for my interview, and they were more than accommodating when I wanted to change my date. The people at APT are the most professional and friendliest people I have ever interviewed with. I overall had an amazing experience interviewing with them and turning down the offer was difficult.

During the interview, the recruiter would pull out their laptop, go to a random website and ask you how would you test the functionality of the website.

For example, mine took me to weather.com and asked me what models would I use to predict the weather so the reporting is accurate.

Also, she asked me how does the Amazon recommendation algorithm work.
