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.

Interview
The whole process was remote. I was referred by a friend who works here.
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.
