Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 2 weeks)

The interview process began with a phone interview with the recruiter. They (along with everyone else in the process), were incredibly friendly and easy to work with. The second phone interview was a simple half hour get to know you with the hiring manager. This was followed by a coding test that was completed remotely. The timeline for completing the test was a little short, but it was actually pretty fun. The final interview that I made it too was an in person panel interview where we discussed my technical experience. It was at this point that it was clear I did not have the technical skills to move forward, but overall it was a very positive experience.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took 2 days)

I was contacted by a recruiter after I applied online. The first interview was with a senior engineer. The questions were mostly about data structures and algorithms. After a couple of days the recruiter contacted to schedule another telephonic interview. The second interview was focussed mostly around databases and SQL. Questions delved deep into SQL server internals and performance.
