Process
The recruiter actually came to my college, but I missed their visit, so I applied online. The recruiter got back within a week. There was one HR round, one technical round with a software engineer, one round with the software group manager, and a final round with HR.
Questions
Basic programming, object-oriented, and language-specific questions about a programming language of your choice. I chose Java. Not difficult at all.
The tougher part was the software group manager interview, which was sort of technical and sort of not. It was more background/interest-based than anything.
My interviewer was very perceptive and practical, so answer all his questions clearly and honestly.

The offices in Natick are really nice, with a nice cafeteria and gym on-site. 3. Good benefits, such as a 6/6 401k match.Cons: 1. Ridiculous management: The process is so loaded down and wastes obscene numbers of engineer-hours in forms. There are two entirely separate tracking systems that have to be filed for every new feature. 2. Silly performance review process that uses bad tools. It takes forever to fill out the badly designed self-review form, and no one looks at it anyway. 3. Salaries 20-30 percent lower than industry average.
