Instructure interview questions

Received an email from technical recruiter on staff and scheduled a ~30 minute call for introductory interview. Next received a link to a HackerRank challenge covering a wide range of general programming questions, architecture, debugging, and a few coding challenges. The questions were moderate to difficult, some of them opinion based. They were attempting to assess overall aptitude and general knowledge and experience and included code exercises in a number of languages. Next was a 30 minute video technical interview with a development manager. We talked about experience, interest, approach, and did a live coding exercise. Next I was invited to visit head quarters in Salt Lake City. They arranged flights and hotels. I flew in the night before, spent the day in the office, and was home that night. I did an hour interview each with 5 engineers (managers and/or team leads) each consisting of a white board coding challenge designed to get insight into how you approach solving problems. Everyone was really great; each interview felt like a small paired programming session. The rest of the time was spent discussing the usual: experience, interest, culture, what it's like working there, etc. In between interviews those same engineers took me to lunch; Lots of fun conversation, much of it talking about their most recent hack week. I finished the day discussing some details with my recruiter. Then they arranged for a taxi to take me back to the airport. My recruiter called me back by early afternoon the next day.

I had a friend refer me to the company and I looked at the open positions on their website and applied for this intern position. I received an email back from them the same day requesting a phone interview. I had a short phone interview and then a panel interview and passed and then an on site panel interview a week or two later with the research team. The phone interview was rather straight forward and the in person interview was a little bit more difficult. They were very quick in getting back to me after every step of the process. They got back to me the same day that I applied, gave me a decision on the same phone interview, and let me know about a decision on the same day of my panel interview. A very positive and stretching experience.
