Applied directly. The recruiter sent a document that contained links for interview preparation, including links such as Careercup. The recruiter followed up through phone and emails to check if I was ready to take the interview. After a month of sending the interview preparation material, the interview was scheduled. The interview happened through Skype. The interviewer had Windows 8 OS on his laptop and did not know how to use Skype with Win 8. He mentioned using chat, talk, and browse, which are a bit different in Win 8. I was asked to write a program on "Collabedit". I have close to 15 years of experience, so I expected the interview technique to have been different.

Writing an efficient program within the given time. Unless you have memorized the material, you won't clear.
