Process took about 3 weeks from beginning to end.
I worked with a staffing agency to get the introductory phone screen with the hiring manager. It was an informal discussion over my resume and general programming experience.
He then asked that I return a Java coding exercise that involved class design and implementation. A good foundation of data structures was key.
I was invited to an on-site interview a week later, where I met with the engineering director, the hiring manager and his team, and HR. It was partly behavioral. I was asked to live code on a Google doc about 4-5 algorithms-related questions.
I would consider this an intermediate interview. Brush up on your data structures and algorithms, but relatively easy for the well-prepared.
The company was looking for a mid-senior level developer to join their Java team, though I believe they also had openings for their C# team. The interview process was the most comprehensive, yet pleasant I've had yet in Tucson. They clearly know what they're looking for and their questions were indicative of a team with well-defined objectives.
Everyone I met with was very friendly and approachable. The developers were clearly brilliant and would make excellent team mates. I personally believe they have an exciting outlook and the best is just to come for this company.
I received an offer but declined as it was significantly lower than my ask (though very reasonable within the Tucson market).
