Process
After submitting my resume, they invited me on-site for an all-day interview. This consisted of:
- Breakfast
- Company orientation
- A three-hour block of one-on-one interviews
- Another group presentation of the company
- A social event to conclude
All in all, the one-on-one interviews never really went too technical. They focused primarily on object-relational models and design questions. They don't really go into coding, as their in-house developers use a proprietary language.
They really went out of their way to make the interview as stress-free as possible, and all of their employees are pretty laid-back.
