I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at MicroStrategy in Jan 2017
Interview
Got a brief phone call from the HR after applying through online. The phone call was a very brief behavioral interview with a little tell-me-about-yourself type of questions. Overall, the interviewer was really nice. After that, I got a Hakerrank online coding test link that I had to finish within 2 days.
