I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Qualtrics (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2016
Interview
I applied online for the position and then was reached out to by a recruiter. I had one phone screen, heard back the next day and then proceeded to do an onsite in Seattle. The phone screen consisted of two pretty simple coding questions. The onsite was three separate interviews followed by a lunch where you could ask questions and learn more about the company. After the onsite, I had a phone call with the hiring manager, which was more behavior based questions with one quick algorithm question. I received an email letting me know that I got an offer within the next week and a call to discuss it with the recruiter.
Even though this was a relatively small company, I loved meeting everyone at the company and it was my second choice. The culture seems to be amazing and all the employees are driven and smart.

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
