Process

I received an email asking me to take an online test about 1-2 months after applying. The test was multiple choice and was broken into three parts: one about terminal commands, one about the output of simple Java methods, and another about debugging. The test took about 2 hours and was all multiple choice.

About a month later, I was invited to a video chat interview. The interview took 2 hours and was broken into 4 separate interviews with 4 department heads. The questions were half about my skills and the tools they use, and the other half personality questions.

Questions

They ask a lot of "explain what X is," where X is some skill or tool from your resume.
