      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Electric Cloud (San Jose, CA) in Nov 2014

      Interview

      I went through a telephone screening with the Sr. Director of Engineering. This conversation discussed my background, the company's history, details on the product team I was applying to, and a technical puzzle in C++. My on-site interview had me in 30-60m one-on-one conversations with every member of the team I was applying for, plus a Product Manager from another team. These interviews were a mix of technical problem solving, prior work experience, and open-ended questions. I was struck by how well this approach painted an overall picture of the team and work environment. This is a group of senior engineers with an exacting and professional approach to problem solving. I returned the next day to speak with the Chief Product Officer, who grilled me on various questions generated by on-site interview the previous day. He was direct and no-nonsense, reinforcing my positive experience that this was a frank, solution-oriented company. The entire process left me excited wanting to join the company.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I was given a multi-threaded C++ program with sample output from several runs and asked to identify why it was occasionally deadlocking. The problem was appropriately bite-sized for a 1 hour interview, but included just enough hair to not be obvious. It took me a bit to "see" the bug, which created opportunity for discussion around design.
