HR contacted me and scheduled three interviews on-site. The first interview was a 1:1 skills test to assess what I knew about computers/Windows in general (What are the specs of your home PC? Show me how to find my IP address.) and then about my specialty. The questions were pretty easy but probably would weed out candidates who don't really know their stuff. Interviews followed with HR and the hiring manager, totalling about 2.5 hours. I was called back for a second group interview with three team members from the team I'd be working with.
It's apparent that people really love working at Hyland. Everyone was very professional and candid; interview questions and answers were thoughtful and relevant. I was able to have good dialogs with several people and felt they had the latitude to talk honestly about Hyland and the position. I was treated with respect throughout.
Dress is very casual, the workspace is well-designed and attractive (but very very open--lack of privacy may be an issue for some), and the positive energy is palpable. The group I interviewed seemed to have autonomy to do their jobs and yet were pretty well informed on overall company strategy. It seems like senior leadership communicates well and frequently. You can read all about Hyland's great benefits and culture elsewhere; colleagues and on-site observations seem to back up the hype. Salaries are a little low but may be balanced by a great work environment and culture.
Overall, the interview process was fairly typical, but it's apparent that Hyland puts a lot of energy into identifying and hiring the right candidates. With the company growing as fast as it is, they've obviously put some effort into developing an interview process that works for both the company and the candidate. One glitch: I had to contact HR to find out I wasn't getting an offer.
