I applied online through the company, there was first an HR screening that lasted 30 min, the next interview was a 2:1 phone interview that lasted an hour where they dissected your resume and then asked technical question at the end asking how does the backend of our lock work when unlocked on a mobile application and how would you explain a database to a grandparent. The next step was an on site interview where you had to give a 10 min presentation on yourself, a 2:1 interview on resume followed by a brainteaser, then an 1hr long assessment (30 min analytical, 30 min written). Was a long day of assessments
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Alarm.com in Oct 2018
Interview
I met them at a career fair held at my school. I had 2 phone interviews and was then invited on site for more interviews. The first phone interview was mostly behavioral. The second was more in-depth. When I was on-site, I received a tour of their office and had 3 other interviews. One was a case study. I also had to complete a written and analytical assessment. The written assessment had 5 questions and the analytical had around 10.

Question 1
Written Assessment: Explain how you would sell a new phone to a friend or family member.
Written assessment: Your grandma usually watches YouTube on her tv but she called and said it’s not working. Write out the steps to help her troubleshoot the problem.
They have me a list of tasks, each with a time period and task requirements before the next task could be started, and I had to decide the minimum time it would take to make the product
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Alarm.com (Washington, DC) in Oct 2017
Interview
A behavioral phone interview, followed by a 45 minute phone interview. The first interview was very easy and relaxed, as they just asked me a little about myself and why I was interested in alarm.com. The second phone interview was much more involved. There were questions about my resume, why I thought the role would be a good fit for me, as well as a brain teaser question. It was a good experience even though I didn't get asked to the Super Day.
