I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Shutterfly (Redwood City, CA) in Mar 2010
Interview
The HR/recruiters were really good at setting up the interviews and the on-boarding process. They were very easy to deal with, which was refreshing after some frustrating experiences at other companies.
The interviews were reasonable with questions relevant to the job. There was no brain teasers bs that tells you nothing about the person's skill set or freshman level cs questions (i.e. how to implement a linked list) which anyone can look up online in 5 minutes.
The people were very friendly and polite, pleasure to deal with.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Shutterfly (Haifa)
Interview
- Short call with HR
- Interview at the companies office
- Home assignment
- Offer
Took about 2 weeks in total from first talk to offer
Got interviewed with super-intelegent guys, was asked mostly practical things
I had a short phone call with the recruiter, after which she sent me a home assignment. For a junior position, it wasn't easy, and I couldn't complete it within the given time frame. I emailed her to explain the situation, and she told me to send what I had—possibly giving me more time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Home assignment that you need to send back after 48 hours
OA + onsite, 3 rounds of interviews with coding. Not too hard — average level, but with a focus on communication. HR will reach out within one to two weeks. Standard package: no stock, no sign-on bonus.
