Alarm.com interview questions

I first heard about the company through an on-campus information session. During that session, I met an HR representative along with a few of my school's alumni who are currently at the company. The HR rep was very friendly and collected my resume on the spot. A few days later, I received an email from Alarm.com stating that I can skip on-campus first round interviews and advance into the second round interview at their office in Vienna. The company was very accommodating to my schedule when booking the second round interview, and booked me a nice hotel and flight (with reimbursement for food and cab fare) for the trip to Vienna. The on-site interview lasted an entire day, with six 45 minute one-on-one interviews and a one hour lunch with some employees and other interviewees in the middle of the day. The interviewers were either current MDPs or senior-level employees. They all asked questions about my previous work experiences, why I want to work at Alarm.com, and ended each interview with a brain teaser. The brain teasers were all unique and fairly challenging, but the interviewers were all supportive and willing to guide me through them. Every individual I encountered during my day at the office was very friendly and demonstrated a genuine enthusiasm for the company. The day after my on-site interview, I received an email stating that I got a job offer. HR sent me the formal written offer soon after, and was very willing to speak to me over the phone regarding any questions I had and directed me to current MDPs whom I could talk to about job specifics and day-to-day details. The company was very willing to discuss my salary requirements, and we ended up negotiating a starting salary that both parties were satisfied with. Overall, the process went much more quickly and smoothly than I had anticipated, and I am very satisfied with Alarm.com's hiring and interviewing process.

I applied online through our school's career website. Two current engineers from Alarm.com came and met with me at school. I believe they were both Device Engineers, but had a solid understanding of questions to ask for a Quality Engineer position. At the time, I was unsure if I wanted to apply for Device or Quality- which they were fine with and allowed me to interview for both at the same time. The next interview step was to go into the company's headquarters in McLean, VA. It is a nice area (also right next to Dunkin Donuts which was an added bonus). The interview was from 9:30-3 and I believe I spoke with a total of 5-6 people. It was a very full day but each interviewer was laid-back and I was offered water by every single person- which may seem like a small gesture, but it meant a lot. In the middle of the day, myself and the other two students interviewing ate a catered lunch in the conference room with a few of the employees. It was a relaxing lunch and the employees were easy to talk to and open to any questions. After lunch we continued the interviews and met with who we would be reporting to if given the job. A few weeks later I received a phone call stating that they were making me an offer; about a week after that I had a written offer emailed to me and a little less than one week to accept it.
