I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at O'Reilly Auto Parts (Springfield, MO) in Oct 2015
Interview
Fairly easy interview. Met at a career fair hosted by my school. I had 3 phone interviews, an in-person interview, and took an online programming test. I also had to take a logic test that took about an hour (quick approximate math, read a string of symbols in a pattern and tell what the next symbol should be, no programming)
I interviewed at O'Reilly Auto Parts (Guadalajara, Jalisco)
Interview
Entrevista sencilla, el proceso fue rapido y se tuvo comunicacion todo el tiempo, fue una entrevista tecnica, platicas con los lideres y con recursos humanos. Las prestaciones son competitivas aunque al NO ser una empresa de TI sino de refacciones se maneja otro ambiente.

Interview
Tried interviewing for Sr. Software Engineer but was told they see a senior role for someone with 10+ years. This is obviously myopic and ageist. So knowledge and expertise is nothing to them. I took the interview anyway to brush up for other interviews in the pipeline.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
usual questions like what does it mean to be a part of the team and so on. tech interview was easy with 2-3 hacker rank questions. they will ask you your current compensation and visa status.

Interview questions [4]
Question 1
easy hackerrank question related to counting vowels
hackerrank question similar to merge intervals on leetcode. this one was a little tricky to complete in 20 minutes but doable if not under interview stress
technical questions on java like virtual vs synchronized. name uses of static. what is a db index when do you use one or when do you not use one etc. review basic sql syntax for ddl and dml. review a pr with their "sr" developer who got angry when I pointed out a basic exception it was throwing that he had missed. Their tech stack looks old-ish, possibly 2015ish with no mention of microservices, event streaming, or even any container management or control plane of any kind so no need to review any of those.
