I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at a2z Development Center (Irvine, CA) in Feb 2013
Interview
1 phone interview followed by on site call. Phone call question was a basic coding problem on arrays and some knowledge based questions. The onsite was with 5 interviewers- 3 of them asked coding, object oriented questions followed by a behavioral/lunch interview and finally, a resume-based/behavioral interview.

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at a2z Development Center (Irvine, CA) in Mar 2014
Interview
5 interviews, lasting all day. Ridiculous academic-type algorithm questions... nothing that would be useful in the real world as a software engineer. It seemed more geared toward a new college graduate than someone with real world experience. Complete waste of time, for me at least. This position was supposed to be for a level 2 or 3 software engineer but there wasn't a single question related to anything I've worked on in 8 years as a SWE.

Question 1
Algorithms, algorithms, algorithms... all functional type stuff, no OO stuff that people use everyday in the software engineering world. Seemed like all academic type questions and not real-world uses.
I applied through university. I interviewed at a2z Development Center in May 2012
Interview
Applied through their website, they also came to our college for a info session and collected resumes. Later I received a mail from them to schedule two back to back phone interviews each 30 mins long. One of it was a programming exercise and other was a technical interview with lot of ques on datastructures.
