Denver, COPosted Oct 2016 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a structured multi-session on-site process with multiple technical rounds, combining whiteboard/pseudocode, pair-style problem solving, and team-fit discussion.

Phone screening (HR + technical) — two separate 30-minute calls: recruiter/fit and a technical chat with the hiring engineer.
On-site: technical Q&A + pseudocode — a 45-minute session mixing Q&A and whiteboard pseudocode.
On-site: pair-programming — another 45-minute session that involved pair-style work in environments similar to what I’d use.
On-site: team/practices discussion — Q&A on collaboration and software development practices.

Outcome: I didn’t get an offer; the takeaway was that communication and practical problem solving mattered across every session.
