Interview
I had an initial conversation with the recruiter that I really enjoyed, really clicked. She arranged a technical phone interview that week which lasted 30 minutes. Based on this interview I was invited to come onsite the following week to meet with the two Senior Directors; smart guys. I was brought in the following week to meet the team. This interview was split into 3 group interviews, I was extremely impressed with the level of the people I was talking to; the interview was a lot of fun. The week after I was invited back and I had an in depth technical interview and met with the head of HR and the CEO. All in all, fun experience with some very smart people.
The whole interview process was a little over three weeks
