J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Alarm.com (Vienna, VA) en oct. 2012
Entretien
Fairly Straightforward interview process. On campus then called on site 4 days later. Interview comprised brain teasers and some quality engineering questions. They want to see if you are a good fit. Rigorous interview process. Lasted around 6 hours and was interviewed by 6 different people including a software engineer. Know your resume well and try and think of how you can link up some of the work you did to quality( obviously). Additionally. know your strengths and weakenesses. They asked me that like 4 times. Also, they can make out very easily if you are not interested in quality. Thats part of why I think I didnt get an offer. Don't try and bulls*** your way through cos thats what a lot of people interviewing for this job do.

Question 1
This was not difficult but its the one brain teaser I had not heard before. You have three baskets labeled apples, oranges and (apples+oranges). They are all labeled incorrectly. You have only one chance to blindly pick up an item from any of the three baskets and based on what you pick up you have to correctly re label each of the baskets

Began with a very inviting phone screener. Quick response to schedule a 30 minute MS Teams interview that consisted of a mix of background information and exercises like "how would you test a pencil". Quick response again to schedule a 3.5 hour in-person interview gauntlet where I met with 4 people that gave assessments which were centered around running tests, ranking the priority of bugs, and the software development cycle. Overall good experience, but I was a bit caught off guard by the number of assessments during the final in person interview. I expected at least a 30 minute tour sprinkled somewhere in a 3.5 hour visit.

There was an initial phone screen, team member interview, hiring manager interview. There might have been an on-site interview if I had been selected past that point. Mostly behavioral/resume questions and a puzzle/test plan question.
