Alarm.com Software Engineer interview questions

1. phone interview with recruiter/HR person 2. short technical phone interview with hiring manager (basic Java questions) 3. onsite - 3 hours ~ 45 minutes each (4 people total). questions about resume, basic coding problems. 4. day after onsite asked to fill out employment application (probably so they have a paper record of your application...) 5. two weeks after onsite got email saying they moved forward with another candidate. entire process took about a month....

Very smooth process. Recruiter and all interviewers were friendly, helpful, and very open to questions. Overall, the process felt collaborative rather than one sided which is always a good sign. Fun process. Phone screen: Basic HR phone screen. Asked about what I was looking for, my internships and projects, etc. Coding challenge: Moderately difficult multi question coding challenge. Definitely manageable if you give it enough thought. Some questions required a certain level of efficiency to pass all test cases so it wasn't enough to use brute force. Onsite: Flew me to their HQ for a day of interviews. Covered all expenses. The interview day consisted of a quick tour followed by two interview rounds, a lunch, and then two more interview rounds. - Rounds 1 and 2: General resume / project questions, followed by whiteboard algorithm questions. - Round 3: General resume / project questions. Also had a written section where I found bugs in code or wrote out what the correct output of a program should be. - Round 4: Mostly behavioral. Also included a collaborative design question as well as a brain teaser.
