I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at F5 (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2014
Interview
I interviewed by phone by the technical recruiting manager first. Then I spoke to the hiring manager on the phone, and then came in for a 5-interviews-in-a-day on-site round. I was offered the job 2 weeks after the interview. It took 6 weeks from application to interview, which seemed really slow (but, when you are looking for a job everyone else seems slow as I recall)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There seemed to be 2 types of interviewers - skills and fit interviewers. They asked *very* different questions - the hiring manager and the two people on the team asked specific scenario questions and dug into examples with me. The other two (that were not part of the team I was applying to join), asked culture questions, family questions, past job experience questions (best/worst experience, how you handled, what did you think of that). Not hard questions, but you were being evaluated all the same.
