Interview Details – Went on campus for the interview. Everyone was very friendly and things went smoothly. The campus is very nice, although it seemed kind of quiet when I was there (although that may be because it was a Friday). I got interviewed by four people one after another, each on different topics. The questions were of Average difficulty, and the interviewers were very patient and friendly, helping you along when you were stuck and giving you hints at times without being too lenient.

Interview Details – Phone screen with the director for the team to which I was interviewing. Went well, we talked about my background and skills, what I was looking for, and what they were trying to accomplish. The onsite portion consisted of several hour-long interviews, including an hour for lunch. They questions were fairly easy, in the general vein of problem solving, design patterns, distributed computing, and programming questions.

Negotiation Details – Negotiations were easy enough. It helped to have an offer in hand from another company nearby, which helped bump up the salary and sign-on bonus.
