I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at iCIMS in Jul 2018
Interview
Process was somewhat lengthy in terms of total steps, but the speed of the process was excellent.
I encountered 5 steps.
1. General HR Phone Screening
2. Online Codility Test
3. Manager Phone Screening
4. Online Technical Screening (Phone + shared IDE)
5. Onsite Interview
I was updated with every step along the way, and feedback and next steps were available usually 2 days after each previous step. The onside was 3 parts. First step was with 2 peers, mostly technical questions but also general questions about working at ICIMS and how the team functions. Then 2 separate managerial interviews. Both of these were mostly behavioral/conversational. I had plenty of time to ask my own questions during each portion.
Overall a very pleasant process. More technical testing than I've ever experienced for a lower level role, but no questions were "trap" questions or overly textbook focused. If you practice or are currently working, they should be mostly easy overall.

Question 1
If you were creating this room as an application, what classes, objects, data etc would you declare and how would it interact?
Given an array of Integers and a separate input Integer Sum, find the first pair of indexes in the array where the Integers found at the given indexes are equal to Sum
iCIMS conducts many levels of interviews. First there is an HR phone screen interview(max 30 mins). If that is cleared you are sent a codility link for an at home coding test. Then there is a skype interview. After that comes a series of interviews at the company site. I managed to clear the HR interview with ease. Could not clear the codility test. Got 3 java coding questions.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at iCIMS (Holmdel, NJ) in Jul 2018
Interview
The process started with a general 20 minute phone screen. This was followed by a Codility test which had 3 coding questions. After that, there was a longer phone interview which was split into two parts: first some general questions with the technical manager and then technical questions/online coding challenges with two engineers. The last step in the process was a 3 hour onsite interview where I met with two engineers and two managers. The engineers asked technical questions and had whiteboard problems while the managers were more conversational.
The recruiter was helpful throughout the process as they were quick to provide feedback after each step. Overall, the entire experience was positive and very efficient.

Interview
The interview process was quick and laid back. The recruiter was helpful and guided me the whole way. Any emailed questions regarding the interview process were answered within a day. Prior to the formal interview process, the recruiter helped set up an in person visit with a team lead to discuss any questions about the responsibilities of the position and what to expect as part of the team and part of the company as a whole.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
How would you check if a given string is a valid palindrome?
How would you represent a room, its doors, and certain furniture, as a object and how would you test for certain functionalities? (For example, would you represent a door as an object which holds the doors state (open or closed), or would you represent the door as a state within a room object? What if the room had multiple doors? How would you test these representations and ensure only certain people are allowed within the room at certain time periods?)
