I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Qualtrics (Provo, UT) in Nov 2016
Interview
Applied online, a recruiter reached out to me about a week later to schedule a phone screening. Later that day I received word that they wanted to fly me out for an onsite interview (they gave me 2 choices for which day). The onsite interview was three back to back interviews with engineers where they asked you questions about your resume for 15 minutes and then spent 30 minutes talking over a series of coding questions with you, where each subsequent question built on the previous question that was asked. The whole thing felt very relaxed, and the interviewers were super helpful pointing you in the right direction. After that there was a tour and a lunch with all the interviewers. A day after the onsite I was contacted to schedule another interview with a hiring manager, which was again a mix of technical/experience questions. I received an offer the next week with a 2 week deadline. The whole thing was super fluid, there was never much time without hearing from someone, and everyone was very quick to respond and very helpful.

1. Chat with recruiter
2. Chat with hiring manager (behavioral questions)
3. Coding Question on hacker rank
4. System Design question - interviewer didn't turn on camera, said very little throughout the process
The recruiter told me that they had been slow in making a decision, that they will get back to me. They never got back to me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time that you made a mistake. How did you handle it?
Started with a Recruiter screen - overview about company
ML Knowledge - basics of LLMs and your relevant projects
LeetCode - two basic easy and med leetcode problems
Takes a long time to hear back after each round - better to reach out after each round to ask about next steps.
First step is recriuter screen. Then 45 min technical with a software engineer, final round is 90 min technical and 30 min behavioral. They will have you schedule them on a web service called goodtime. Interviewer was very friendly.
