I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PEAK6 (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2009
Interview
Initial phone screen with an HR type. Once I proved I could speak English effectively, I was asked to come to the office for a round of 1:1 interviews. There were a few technical interviews, and a few more high level ones. It lasted about 4 or 5 hours. After the last interview, I was politely shown the way out and told I would get a call soon.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a project you have worked on and the technical challenges you overcame. What alternative designs did you consider? Why did you decide on the solution you picked?
Unprofessional ghosting on part of HR. I was scheduled for an interview and they did not follow through nor respond to any further emails to reschedule or even say the position might be closed.
