Interview
Submitted resume online. Contacted by recruiter a year later. Time from initial contact to offer: exactly two months. This was one of the most thorough and lengthy hiring processes I've ever experienced, but worth it in the end. First was the initial conversation with the recruiter describing the position and determining whether or not I'd be a fit. Then was a phone interview, which I actually had to remind my recruiter about a week later. Had a phone interview with another recruiter, who then set me up for an on site interview a week and a half later. The first stage moved very quickly.
All the interviews were a combination of behavioral and hypothetical questions designed to learn more about your thought process and how you approach a problem. It was very straightforward, and they care more about your thought process than the actual answer. Your examples don't need to be a big deal, but they need to show your analytical ability and problem solving skills. Lots of step by step walk throughs of scenarios and how you've handled things in the past.
The onsite interview consisted of two hangouts with people in another office and two people on site. Everyone was really professional, friendly, and intelligent. Following the onsite interview, the hiring committee presumably gave me a green light and then began the lengthy process of executive review. After the first round of executive review, I had to do a second phone interview (not sure why) which consisted of three behavioral and hypothetical questions in the same vein as the others. Got an offer a week later and accepted.
Contracted as a TVC (temp) 3 interviews focused on 3 key areas, job competence, problem solving and culture add. Very streamlined, good interviewers, although problem solving part is quite challenging.
