2.Weekend code assement. Develop an application with a given set of business rules and couple of nice to have rules. I did well with all Junit, performance testing, thread safety to show that I am well rounded engineer. Off course this is where you can make your code speak your skills.

5. After step 3 and 4 there was a group manager interview where he asked about scaling a system and then actual team manager you are joining would interview you.

Negotiation Details – It went up and down both for position as well as compensation. Position finally offered was what I wanted, but compensation was 3 to 5 % less than what I asked for. However I was desperately looking for a change with my Visa constraints and all where Orbitz made the best decision. End of the day I was happy.

Interview Details – I sent in my resume after finding the job posting on Monster.com. About a week later I received an email from a recruiter to set up a phone interview. After the initial interview with the recruiter, I had a second phone interview with the director of the e-commerce fraud department. During that conversation, we set up a face to face.

A few days before the interview I was sent an itinerary for the day. The interview in total was about 3-4 hours. It consisted of 4 separate meet and greets. The first was with 2 current Fraud Analysts, the second with a supervisor, the third was face to face with the director, and the fourth was another analyst, all about 45 mins - an hour.

The next morning I was contacted by the recruiter who was offering me the position. About 5 days later after sending in my signed offer I was mailed a mandatory drug test. Start date was about 2 weeks after that.

Interview Details – First round was a telephonic interview with the corporate recruiter which was mainly to ask basic questions about my experience and to find out my availability, work status, etc.. I then had a telephonic interview with one of the developers to assess my initial technical ability. I was then called for an on-site interview for some more rounds of interview with various members of the team itself as well as the adjacent team with which my position has a lot of interaction.

The interview and hiring process was one of the fastest and was the best. The questions matched pretty well for the kind of position I was interviewing for. Overall, a positive experience and would like to laud the recruiter for such a wonderful job!
