Process

The interviews started at 9 a.m. in Fargo, ND. I had interviews with a total of four engineers who asked progressively more involved questions.

After three hours of interviews with the first two engineers, a third engineer took me to lunch on their campus. The food was fantastic.

After lunch, I interviewed with that engineer and finished with the engineering lead manager, totaling over six hours of interviews. The questions weren't too hard, and the engineers were all more focused on how you approach problems.
