initial communication is very fast. Time between initial approach and the interview is very fast. I liked the way they were so committed to the timeliness.
There was initially a phone interview followed by onsite one. Onsite has 4-5 interviews, generally covering wide range of topics like programming skills, problem solving ability, puzzles and some design questions.

Question 1
How to detect a common node given two linked lists??
No technical concepts were discussed. None of the employees actually talked about building software (rather corporate/business nuances). It was a very quick and short process. I don't think they have much of an engineering culture.
