Process
Interview Process:
- 30-Minute Phone Screen - Recruiter
- 45-Minute Technical Interview - Hiring Manager
- 2-Hour Presentation/Interpersonal Skills/Technical Application
- 20 minutes to present technical project
- 10 minutes Q&A
- 45 minutes 1-on-1 soft skills questions
- 45 minutes 1-on-1 technical application/scenario-based questions
My only qualm with the process is the length. Nearly 4 hours in total interview time with very short turnarounds between interviews is tough.
