Interview
It was a very clean and neat interview. They are not one of the companies that ask silly questions like FizzBuzz when looking for experienced software developers. I was given a homework assignment. At the end of the homework, they asked me to explain the code I wrote. It was an interview that I really liked.

Initial screening with recruiter and then technical phone interview with team followed by onsite interview for 4 hours. Overall interview process is well organized.
