I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Clarity Health Services in Dec 2013
Interview
The interview process started well, but ended negatively. After applying online, I was contacted about a week later to do a quick phone screen with the company recruiter. A few days later, I then had a nice chat with the Engineering VP, which went fine. About a week later, the recruiter arranged for a technical phone interview to happen the following week. When the time came for the technical interview, there was miscommunication as the interviewer was expecting me to be in front of a computer, which the recruiter did not indicate when she told me about it. So it had to be rescheduled for the next day. Another person interviewed me for this one, and though the interview question was challenging, I felt I was able to give a working solution.
However, after this is when the interview process turned sour. I followed up about a week later and the recruiter mentioned that the technical phone screen went well, but they were busy with a big release and so hiring had been put on hold. That sounded reasonable, so I expected to hear from them in the new year. The recruiter said she would follow up and see how they would like to proceed. I never heard from anyone at Clarity Health again. I followed up in the new year with two emails, but never heard a peep. As a result, it was a negative experience--very unprofessional.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Clarity Health Services in Jun 2014
Interview
The interview process was pretty standard. Phone interviews (one technical and one personality) followed by an in person interview with the team (another technical). First interview was with the VP of tech, half hour or so of just chatting about the company and my experience. Second interview was a technical phone interview with one of their developers. Third interview was in-person with first the VP then the dev team.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Clarity Health Services (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2012
Interview
Everyone at Clarity is very helpful and friendly. Even if your nerves get you wound up, they'll likely put you at ease in no time.
They're very laid back, and it's generally a casual workplace for anyone not in an executive role. Executives dress much more professionally, so depending on with whom you're interviewing, you may need to take that into consideration. While I was there, I interviewed people who dressed in anything from a t-shirt and jeans (Sr. Dev) to a full suit (QA lead). First impressions are still everything, so do keep that in mind when determining what to wear - consider your audience.
I was brought over to FTE from a contract position, but they (Clarity) were heavily involved in my interviews for the initial contract. The interviews were pretty straight-forward.
- First met with the VP over the dev group, and he filled me in on what they do, while asking my opinion on various industry snafus (NOTE - they'll LOVE YOU if you can tell them a bit about care-coordination, so look that one up!). He was very honest with the project's shortcomings, but excited for new engineers to come clean up the mess.
- Then met with the most senior dev on the phone (this was during one of the lovely Snowpocalypse days in 2012, so face-to-face wasn't an option) for a quick "how ya doin?" and "whaddya know?" informal chat.
-After that, he agreed with the VP to bring me in for one more round, this one on a more technical bent. Many straightforward programming questions were asked - nothing out of the ordinary for a full-stack Java Web developer.

Question 1
Not all that unexpected, but it's the only one I remember: What might cause a memory leak on a page, and how do you fix it?
