For programming positions
We believe the only way to really evaluate a programmer is to look at code, and you will write code during your interview (on a computer, not on a whiteboard). We'll send you a ton of information ahead of time so that you know exactly what to expect, and we use real-world problems (ie: we don't make you dredge up from memory the explicit steps that go into doing a manual sort). You can use google or a similar search engine during this interview to your heart's content!
Maybe you've been programming in a cubicle since you graduated a few years ago and are wondering if there are better ways to spend your time. Or perhaps you never went to college, but you just love writing code so much that you taught yourself how, and you want to keep your career going.
For general positions
We're looking for folks who are focused, collaborative, eager to keep learning and value working on a team with diverse backgrounds and experiences. During the interview process, we're looking to evaluate how you approach problems and how you handle different types of situations, as well as chat about how you think you can contribute and grow at the company. We'll have specific questions prepared, but also just want to chat and learn about you and your goals.
