Interviewed May 2010 (took 2 days)

It was a basic interview process for any software engineering job. The phone interview asked basic technical questions. Then for the face to face interview I talked with a recruiter, 2 different project managers and the CTO. It seemed like a good place to work for if all you care about is the quality of the work they produce.

Interview Questions

They asked a random question about having 3 light switches in the basement that control 3 lights on the top floor. They said you can only go upstairs once and you have to determine the matching pairs for the switches and lights. It didn't really seem relevant to anything. I guess it was sort of a logic problem..but it was more of just a useless puzzle that has no relevance to software development skills.

Reason for Declining

My issue was that they do not offer any flex time or work from home days. They seemed really stingy about being there at very specific times, so I was worried about constant micromanagement. I have always worked in laid back environments and met all of my deadlines. I do not need somebody checking my desk at 8:01 and complaining that I arrived late by 1 minute. I also do not need somebody looking over my shoulder every other minute to see if I am actually working or taking a 5 minute break to read my personal email and the news.

Other Details

The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Apr 2007 (took 3 weeks)

The interviewing and hiring process was about normal compared to all other jobs/companies that I interviewed with, There was not really anything out of the ordinary except that I really do not care for phone interviews. I do not think that they accurately represent a conidates skills or abilities and that the phone interview often can make people feel nerous and give a bad impression.
