Interview
Went through a recruiter. Had me do a online test first. Took a couple of hours to complete that. After the online test, heard back 2 weeks later for onsite interview with 3 people. First people was a senior engineer. Went over some friendly conversation and some typical algorithm, coding questions. After that, talked to a senior Manager and then CIO. The latter two interviews are more about experience and expecations. Everything went well, and received offer 1 week late.
