I applied through university. I interviewed at Fast Enterprises
Interview
The interview consisted of a 32 question, multiple choice packet of the sort of brainteasers that Google popularized and then realized were useless in determining applicant strength. This was an immediate red flag, as the company clearly is behind the times and just trying to mimic Google - ironic given that Google abandoned the practice years ago. We were given only 30 minutes to complete the packet, which was of course impossible, and when time was up the interview chided me for not having finished it. The interview itself was brief, and consisted of questions that anyone with a basic grasp of software engineering could answer.

Interview
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter. The process included an initial screening call followed by a technical interview. I was asked about my previous experience, basic programming concepts, problem-solving, and how I approach coding tasks. The interviewers were professional and explained the next steps clearly.

Question 1
Can you describe a recent project you worked on and explain your role, the main technical challenges, and how you solved them?
Multilevel, looking to discern your ability to think outside of the box. There was a technical assessment component, and an IQ-like set of questions. You can be called into multiple interviews if you are seen as a potential. Moving is emphasized in the interview.

Interview
During the phone call interview, they asked multiple questions about what I was looking for. They also talked about the specific job that I am applying for. It was only about a 10 to 15 minute phone call.
