The process in general Moved quite fast and the people were really friendly. The recruiter had really good follow up and kept me really informed and up to date on the entire process.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bluebeam (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2017
Interview
It starts off nice, but unless you have an inside contact over there, I would not recommend applying. Especially not if you are more experienced (photo's a hint). May sound harsh but true. For example, no reasonable test would include a problem from hackerrank that would usually take a bunch of hours of thinking, even if you are good at math. So instead you just gotta google the answer somewhere… you can bet they didn’t solve it in 20 minutes either. The homework problem is the same way and may take job search time away from you and they must be looking for specific academic things instead of real-world experience... who knows, I was not asked in. So all in all the process was pretty amateur like trying to get into a college club.

I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bluebeam in Dec 2016
Interview
Bluebeam software has a bit long process for an interview.
First, you have to go through simple video conference 1:1 with person at HR. It is typical, talk-about-resume type process. They ask you few questions about the resume and non-technical questions, which are easy to answer.
After, you have to go through two online assessment test, which are pretty simple, some are multiple choices and other ones are coding. They are easy to finish for software engineers.
Then, you have to do a project where you find a way for a maze from the picture. You need to do this in C# I believe because I did it in Python easily and they required me to use C#, which was very difficult for me. They said since they use C#, I need to do it again. This is where I failed.
So if you do not have good skill in C#, chances are pretty low because you need to do this in C#.
Overall, it was a good experience, but if you do not like long process that has a project in it, do not attempt applying here.
