I applied online. I interviewed at Alarm.com (Tysons Corner, VA) in May 2026
Interview
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.

Interview
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.
