I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Imprivata (Lexington, MA)
Interview
Process took 3 weeks. Really disorganized with a lack of response from HR (typical). There was a meet and greet with an HR rep then a phone call with the hiring manager. If that goes well, then you get a coding test which is pretty easy and not too involved. More to tackle on your coding discipline and way of thinking. Then follows an in-person. It was really sad to come in-person and see that none of the engineers had much to ask or say regarding my coding test, which was the whole point of it. Instead, their demeanor was pretty stern and almost stonelike. It was a complete waste of my time coming in as their excuse for not going forward with me was because I was "not senior enough". Clearly no idea how to screen people but you know what that is this company's loss.

Question 1
Coding test and if that goes well, you will be asked to explain it in-person.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Imprivata (Lexington, MA) in Dec 2016
Interview
Initial non-technical phone conversation with an HR staff member, followed by a technical phone call with the Engineering Manager of the PatientSecure team.
Next, I was given a set of do-at-home coding challenge questions to complete within ~4 days. However, I wasn't completely clear on what two of the four questions were looking for, so I wrote back asking for clarification. For two days I received no reply to my email, so I finally decided to submit what I believed was the correct answer. Four days after I submitted the completed test, I received an apology from a HR staff member -- different from the person I'd first spoken with during the initial phone conversation -- who apologized and said they forgot to forward a reply from the Engineering Manager about my coding challenge questions. No big deal: I updated my tech test and resubmitted my answers.
From that point forward, I received no reply. I emailed the HR staff member who forgot to forward the coding challenge questions to me, as well as the HR staffer I had initially spoken to that promised to investigate what was going on, to ask if the Engineering Manager had reviewed my coding challenge answers yet.
