I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Sparq (Augusta, GA) in Mar 2014
Interview
Interview starts off with a quick introduction followed by a ~10 question programming challenge. These questions were largely based on current .net libraries and Visual Studio knowledge. You are given 1 hour to complete the 10 programming challenges. Once you have completed the challenges or the hour is up, the interview precedes with a group interview. This part of the interview is laid back and the interviewee should feel fairly comfortable as long as they have a grasp of the technologies required for the job applied for.

Question 1
What are some of the programming websites/blogs that you frequently visit? They really want to know if you're keeping up to date with current programming techniques and styles.
Four interviews, initial HR screen of background, technical interview, take home assessment, interview going over assessment, behavioral interview.
Be wary of false promises. I was given excellent feedback throughout the entire process, and told I would be submitted to a client for review. After weeks of waiting, I got an automatic rejection response from them (despite being told multiple times I would be moving through the process).
In consulting positions come and go, and its fine if things don't work out, however I expect more professional behavior in explaining why, especially after weeks of interviews, meetings and preparation.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sparq in Nov 2024
Interview
Didn't make it past the recruiter screening because they didn't think the number of years I had with a specific technology would result in an offer meeting my salary expectations. Perfectly understandable. Thankful the recruiter let me know I would be judged more on this single number than on my actual experience.
Fantastic! Initial zoom was very informative and had visual aids that helped explain the total interview process. The recruiter was extremely helpful and he answered all of my questions before I needed to ask them.
