Candidate-reported interview process

The interview process had 5 stages, and I spoke with 5 people. The first interview focused on my resume experiences. Then, I was given a case study question and a brain teaser. The brain teaser was challenging, especially as I was already feeling fatigued from the earlier interviews that day.

I applied through the career center and got an email back for a phone interview. They will definitely ask you questions about your resume, wanting you to be more specific about what you have done in the past and mentioned on your resume. They will also ask you two technical questions based on the position you are applying for.

I had my on-site interview at their Vienna HQ and was there for about 7 hours. Different department folks rotated in to interview me, and supervisors checked out my background to see if I was a fit. After the interviews and some brain-teasers, they let me know a week later I didn't get the job.
