I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at SED GAMING
Interview
I was directed to the position via a friend already employed there. It was simple enough to pass along my resume and information and the HR office was nice enough. I arrived early for the interview and was pleasantly surprised that they didn't make me wait until my exact interview time, instead taking me when the hiring supervisor was available, a good 30 min or so before my time. I had submitted a C++ Blackjack game where I was given free reign to program it however I wanted so long as it was in C++. During the interview, I was reassured to find that they weren't necessarily looking for functionality of the program but more so my coding approach. I was asked questions such as why I chose to use one data type over the other or why I used certain names or approaches.
On the second interview, I met the CFO. He asked standard interview questions (Why do you want to work here, what kind of salary are you expecting, ect). It went a lot faster and felt far more formal than the previous interview did.
When I entered the office, I will admit that it felt a bit cold. There was not much to behold in the front 'lobby' area except for a few chairs and the reception desk. The receptionist was very nice and kept up reasonable conversation probably because she noticed my nervousness. Everyone was in casual clothes and friendly.

Question 1
Asking about my personal approach and the why's of my choices.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at SED GAMING (Duluth, GA) in Mar 2010
Interview
Heard about the place from a friend that worked there and he got me an interview. First part was having to write a C++ Blackjack game for them to analyze. Was called in for an in face interview to talk about it. They used it more to see how I thought as a programmer more so than if I could program on some expert level. Was called back in for a second interview to meet the CFO and basically do a personality interview. Afterwards, was offered the position.

Question 1
Writing the program was a bit difficult as I didn't know c++ nor blackjack.
