Average interview
Application
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Alarm.com (Vienna, VA)
Interview
Had a brief interview with a riddle shortly after first talking with the recruiter. After being invited to their Vienna HQ for a final technical interview, I was declined an offer even though I felt like I had a really good experience at the final interview. The final technical involved a few riddles, a few C coding questions, a written test, and talks with some of their top level technical execs.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They showed a board from one of their devices and asked to identify the various components on it.
Contacted by recruiter, initially set up short phone call (~15 minutes). Did a hackerrank challenge, after that, scheduled a phone interview with the manager (~1 hour). Was told I would hear back from them very soon, and I never heard from them again.

Interview
A recruiter reached out to me for a phone interview 1.5 months after I submitted my application.
The phone screen consisted of logistical and behavioral questions. The Interviewer started to rush the interview towards the end. The interviewer informed me that I would hear back within a week. The phone screen ended in 15 minutes.
I got a rejection email 5 days after the phone screen.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Alarm.com (Tysons Corner, VA) in Oct 2019
Interview
ADC (alarm.com) was always very quick to reply and the entire process from application to offer took just under a month. Everyone who interviewed me was kind and courteous -- it was a great experience!
The 'interview' was a 3 stage process:
1) Basic phone screen
2) Online code challenge
3) All day on-site
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic screen was a mix of behavioral and high level questions about technical knowledge. This was followed by an online code challenge which was some leetcode easy / medium level questions. Finally, the onsite ran the gamut from hardware to behavioral to software design questions depending on the interviewer.
