I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at empowr (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
- phone screening of 15 minutes
- typical puzzle solving challenge
-onsite interview where they again ask for puzzle, most of the times they do not check your technical knowledge but analytical knowledge is assessed.
They kept rescheduling my initial interview, which was over the phone. The interview itself was fine, but then they asked me to design a solution to a word coding puzzle before scheduling an in-person interview. Well, they were displeased with my solution so I never got an in-person interview.

Interview
It was really straight forward just basic question regarding the company and the technology they used the interviewer was really good at explaining what the company does in detail.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at empowr
Interview
1. Contacted by recruiter via LinkedIn
2. Initial phone screen with HR rep
3. Take-home coding challenge
4. On-site interview
The overall process was pretty standard based on interview experiences with other companies. However, after the on-site interview (in which I thought I did pretty well) I received zero further communication regarding whether I had passed the interview or not. I reached out twice to the HR rep who I had been working with throughout the interview process (and who normally would respond to emails quickly), and received no response.
