I applied online. I interviewed at charity: water (New York, NY) in Nov 2018
Interview
It was a fairly quick process especially since it took place around the holidays.
- Phone screen with HR : general discussion about the organization and culture, discussed my background and interest
- Google hangout interview with the Engineering manager: review of technical experience and behavioral questions
- Take home code challenge: had a few days to work on a project that handles a task that would normally come up for the organization, was reviewed by staff member and had a chance to adjust solution and send back
- In person interviews in office: 2.5 hour interview with several members of the engineering and product team to discuss technical experience and fit
It was a long interview process that initially required a day long project take home. Spent a lot of time and energy preparing and working for a month on the interview process all for them to find that they were redesigning the role which stayed open for months.

Question 1
what is your least favorite thing about software development
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at charity: water in Nov 2018
Interview
It was a great experience and a fast process.
I had an internal referral from a staff member. The overall structure for the interview was:
Phone Screen - General Background, Culture
Hangout with Engineering Manager - Technical Interview and Engineering Culture Fit
Take-home Project - PR on a Coding Challenge with 1 round of Code Review.
That's far as I made it, but understood the next steps, according to the outline I learned about in the phone screen, would have been a Group Interview with Team Engineers and/or an interview with an Executive Team Member. Then, a background/reference check followed by an offer stage.
