I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ares Management (Century City, CA) in Feb 2012
Interview
Three interviews, one phone and two face-to-face
Face-to-face was with the hiring manager, his VP, and the manager of desktop support.
Second face to face was with the IT peers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None of the questions were unusually difficult. Some were vague, which requires fleshing out the answer with details. Questions like: If you had an unlimited budget, what network would you build using what equipment?
