I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Qualtrics (Provo, UT) in Oct 2015
Interview
I talked to a recruiter at a university job fair. I interviewed with them as part of the job fair. After that I was contacted to set up follow up interviews. They wanted me to come to their location, but I haven't been able to have the time with school, so I asked if I could do a skype interview instead. The recruiter said that it would work fine and I gave my availability. Then I was a couple days later because another day came available for them to host interviews in the near future. I respectfully declined and requested a skype interview. I was then given a date and times for my interview (two 45 minute interviews with a 15 minute break). The day before my interview (which was a Friday) I got an email to confirm my interview times. But the email said that my interview times were on Monday during one of my classes. I replied and told the recruiter that those weren't the times I was planning on, but I could give other times that I'm available. Anyway, they responded and said it was a miscommunication and I got another email with the correct interview times and it said that I would use Skype.
Well the time came and I got a phone call. The interviewer asked if I was expecting the call and I said yeah, but I was expecting it on Skype. Well he said HR never told him that, and in fact his work computer didn't even have Skype installed . . . But the interview wasn't bad. It was I guess just a normal phone interview. We used collabedit.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Qualtrics
Interview
The whole process was remote. I was referred by a friend who works here.
1. Chat with recruiter
2. Chat with hiring manager (behavioral questions)
3. Coding Question on hacker rank
4. System Design question - interviewer didn't turn on camera, said very little throughout the process
The recruiter told me that they had been slow in making a decision, that they will get back to me. They never got back to me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time that you made a mistake. How did you handle it?
Started with a Recruiter screen - overview about company
ML Knowledge - basics of LLMs and your relevant projects
LeetCode - two basic easy and med leetcode problems
Takes a long time to hear back after each round - better to reach out after each round to ask about next steps.
First step is recriuter screen. Then 45 min technical with a software engineer, final round is 90 min technical and 30 min behavioral. They will have you schedule them on a web service called goodtime. Interviewer was very friendly.
