I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Atlanta, GA)
Interview
Was contacted about the position through a recruiter.
After that, a phone screen was set up with a Staff Engineer. The Staff Engineer asked me how I felt about pair programming, and went through my background and asked how much I knew about the latest development approaches and technologies. That interview went well and the next step was an in-house interview.
The in-house interview lasted about 3 hours and was a pair programming experience where a problem was drafted on a whiteboard. I worked with the interviewer on the whiteboard to talk through and architect a solution, and then we went over to the computer to pair program where I implemented a REST API solution to the client he had prepared to accept the payload.
After that we had lunch, and then I met with the hiring manager who talked more in-depth about the project they were working on and answered any questions I had about the overall structure. I really liked the manager, my pair programmer partner, and the project they were working on.
They are big into Extreme Programming (XP)/pair programming, so if that is not your preference then you may not want to apply.
I received an offer but didn't accept because it was temp to perm only. I did like the fact they moved really quickly, were flexible, and communicated throughout the entire process.
