I applied online and had a phone interview, followed by an offer for an in-person interview. Since I live close to San Diego, I drove my car the night before. They provided a hotel very close to where I was supposed to meet my HR representative.
I met the HR rep at 11 AM, and she gave me an overview of the company. Afterward, I drove my car to the next stage of the interview process (I was offered a shuttle but declined it). This is where the real interview began.
I had lunch with a software engineer, where we discussed the company, and he asked a few softball questions. The next three interviewers appeared to be software engineers chosen at random (at least to me). I met with them one at a time. Some asked good questions, while others were not as skilled at interviewing. It was all standard procedure.
Finally, I met with the last interviewer. He was very experienced in interviewing and asked many pointed questions.
After the interviews concluded, they said they would get back to me in a week or two either way.
