I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at First American Financial Corporation (Santa Ana, CA) in Aug 2018
Interview
It is a very fairly easy and quick process (over all it took around 6 weeks for the entire process) . I applied for the position that I saw in Indeed in July first week. I got a initial call from HR in less than 2 weeks . After HR interview , I had 2 more rounds of phone interview with other team members (which is mostly technical) and then finally 1 in -person interview . overall the interview experience was great . never a guessing or waiting game. The HR recruiter was very courteous and was always keeping me in loop with whats happening with the process and was given offer letter very quickly. I really was impressed with every thing at the First American so I was positive I would accept their offer (if I get any from them) and was elated when they offered me the position and I was able to negotiate the salary a bit which is an added bonus.

Question 1
they asked me about my previous company projects, technologies, why I left my previous job and gave a very clear over view of what is expected in the new role so I got a good opportunity to think through this before making my decision. lot of technical question about the tool that I had been working. over all very easy ( one of the easiest and relaxed interviews in my career)
I interviewed at First American Financial Corporation
Interview
Interview consisted of general discussion on projects, LLD discussion. The interviewer gave a DSA question and when I asked clarifying questions the interviewer told me that they keep changing the questions and I will need to read and understand it to explain it to you. I have no idea what the interviewer was expecting to test if they themselves had no idea what the question is.
