Process

I was emailed by the recruiter for an onsite invitation without any phone interviews.

I was told to pick from a set of shortlisted groups, mostly revolving around databases. The groups were selected by the recruiter from what they thought best matched my resume. Some of the groups selected weren't really what I was interested in.

Out of the groups I selected, I only met with one group. The recruiter added two more groups, which I did not select, to my set of interviews for the onsite.

I only had three interviews for my onsite, with a few technical questions. The interviewers were generally friendly and comfortable to talk to.
