I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tangerine Software
Interview
The process took about 2 weeks. First you need to pass online technical test and then on-site interview. During the interview it seemed like they don't know how to solve their QA puzzle and they just want to get a free solution looking for the answers from potential candidates. When I asked to specify some details, they looked totally helpless so that I've lost the last charge of my motivation and then just confined myself to vague generalities.
