I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Fortinet in Sept 2014
Interview
Initial interview was a written technical test with a 2 hour limit (5 coding questions across 3 languages, plus an "optional" bonus question to be submitted after the time limit).
The next interview was a resume discussion with a manager that included some technical questions, but was more of a screening (why this wasn't the first step, I don't know).
The final interview was a panel interview to go over my answers given in the written test.
Between the three interviews and working on the bonus question, I invested at least 10 hours of my time into the process. I received a boilerplate rejection email a few days after the (seemingly successful) 3rd interview and the recruiter would not provide feedback on why they did not want to proceed, which I found disappointing.
The position sounded like it would have been alright, but their people skills appear to be a bit lacking.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All of the 3rd interview had a theme of finding the "correct" solution, even though the questions had multiple candidate solutions that were equally valid.
Behavioral Interview with HR
The first stage involves a conversation with HR to assess cultural fit, communication skills, and alignment with the company’s values and expectations.
Technical Take-Home Assessment
Candidates are then given a technical challenge or case study to complete independently. This evaluates their problem-solving approach, technical proficiency, and ability to deliver quality work within a set timeframe.
Team Interview
Successful candidates are invited to meet with the team for a more in-depth discussion. This may include reviewing the take-home assessment, technical questions, and getting to know how the candidate collaborates and communicates in a team setting.
Offer
Finalists who demonstrate strong potential across all stages will receive an official offer to join the team.

Question 1
They asked about previous experience and where you would like to focus my career
A short phone call from HR briefly discussed about company background, job descriptions. Later ask for an introduction of myself and asked my teck stack and how I used them in my previous work experience.
