I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Intentional Software in Sep 2016
Interview
Found Intentional Software Company at my college's career fair and dropped my resume. Received an email the same day about scheduling an interview. Had a half hour phone behavioral interview and moved onto the next round. Currently in the process of technical interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked about my resume and my coding background (since I have taken a lot of Neuroscience classes and am pursuing an Neuro-CS interdepartmental major). Very low key and informational, interviewer was an HR lady and was very nice.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Intentional Software
Interview
There are four steps to the process. I wasn't able to make it through the first interview. However, I was told that the second and third one are the technical heavy interviews and that the last one is more of an exit, and easier technical interview. The first interview was all behavioral questions and for me, was a phone call interview. The interviewer went through my transcript and asked me questions that get a grasp of what I know and how I would work in a team.

Question 1
What do you know about Intentional and its founder?
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Intentional Software (Nashville, TN) in Feb 2016
Interview
Had 3 interviews. 1st HR interview was just some basic behavioral questions. Then I had two rounds of technical interviews about CS fundamentals. I did well in the 2nd round but could not solve a weird algorithm/data structure design question in the 3rd round. I think if they ask that kind of question then the interview is a lot more based on luck (which is more or less true for all interviews).
I would have given the interview an overall positive experience, but the second interview was kinda bad. After I gave a solution, the interviewer would not respond until I said "hello? are you still there" something like that. When I finally came up with a solution for that weird question but not the optimal solution, she said "good" and then when I asked her "should I optimize this solution further" she declined using a very strange line of reasoning. I would have solved that problem optimally if she did not say "good", which made me think that I've gotten the correct solution.

Question 1
1st round HR: basic behavioral questions
2nd tech screen: data structures and an algorithm question that most people should have learned in their algorithms class
3rd tech screen: a simpler algorithm design question, then a really weird data structure question.
