Was asked to give a phone interview. Recruiter contacted me and then set up a date for a telephone call. Was asked to code some TopCoder division I style problems in about 45 minutes. Afterwards, the recruiter gave some feedback and then let me know that they would contact me again.

The interview process involves long, complex processes and extensive candidate analysis, with plentiful of interviews, screening rounds, and evaluations. Although it was very organization and able to know the status, the entire process was quite extensive, looking for the right person.
