I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Jacquette Consulting (Exton, PA) in Mar 2017
Interview
Phone interview with HR. My feel was that she was trying to act young to target younger people. In person interview at the place. They had cubicles and it didn't look young at all. It was kinda messy. Finally had me do the battleship code. I highly doubt anybody ever finishes it. Promptly exited out the door. Never called or emailed. Definitely a more self centered company from what I got from them.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Jacquette Consulting (Malvern, PA) in Feb 2015
Interview
I was first contacted for a phone interview, and then invited for a technical test / in person interview. The phone interview went well, and I could tell they try their best to give off "young" vibe, almost to the point of it seeming gimmicky. This over the top effort may be more true toward someone who is coming out of college, such as myself. The staff seemed really pleasant and helpful, however when I didn't pass the technical test (command line battleship in your preferred language - tweaking existing code), I was abruptly escorted out with no communication from the developer who gave me the test. I was given the line "we think you're really cool, but..."

Question 1
I can't remember anything in particular from the phone interview, it was pretty typical. I didn't make it to the in person interview.
I applied through university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Jacquette Consulting
Interview
There is a technical test that is utter BS. If you can't get the unit tests to pass (at least 4 out of 5), then you won't even be considered at all. No matter how close you were on the test OR how good the code you wrote looks. Furthermore, many good candidates who pass the test will be turned away because, and I quote, "he just needs to take some uppers" -their CEO.

Question 1
I honestly can't remember, but if you don't ask about or notice the toys in the CEO's office, then you won't get hired.
