I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Avantax (Bellevue, WA) in Jan 2008
Interview
Nothing special: standard industry interview. Wide range of people, standard questions. We had a few overlaps during the interview: people didn't know that they had to conduct the 1:1 interview at the moment they were supposed to, so some of them had to re-schedule for the next day
