Initial Phone screen with Recruiter. - General questions about experience and language, tools that I have worked on. During this phone screen, the recruiter asked what is your salary expection? Told her, this is what I will be targeting, She literally said "isn't that bit much". She had a non american accent. I was like that is what other companies are willing to offer. Then there was phone screen with manager and another engineer in the team. This was normal, talked about experience and bunch of technical questions around my responses. Phone screen went well, they scheduled me for 3 hr In person at the Downtown office The office is located right off of 16th street mall which is not too bad. The personal interviews started with the teams withe members of the team taking rounds to interview me. Most of the tech questions were around white boarding what I have worked on previously, find solutions to the problems they present and explain why you would take that approach. After the 3 hr interview, they invited me for another round of 1.5 hrs in-person but I declined it. here is my thought, if you are willing to work at a chaotic company where employees have no place for table to work. Do apply and go for it. The employees are sitting wall to wall(inch -inch). It was not bad overall. But one to many rounds of interviews

As a previous interviewer and the now being an active contractor, I will say the process is very fair for both parties. An interview should give both parties the opportunity to make a good decision on whether to pursue an opportunity and I believe MapQuest did a really good job of that. Most interviews for developer positions will include some form of code test. The at home code test was excellent in showing general development knowledge and problem solving skills without being lame and asking ridiculously impossible or tedious questions. The in person interview was also very timely and fair. I was able to easily display my skill set and leave them with the knowledge they needed to choose to hire me or not. I also was given the opportunity to ask employees of different skillsets and roles various questions that I found to be important. Lastly because i was able to meet with several members of the team, I was able to get a good sense of the culture. I'm a big culture person so it was important for me to know what i was looking at. I found the process to be fair and timely, I only spend about 2 hours and they got back to me literally that day. That mean i went really through the entire process in 2 days! I don't know what more you would want from an interview process. I will definitely take some notes and reuse some stuff from it. I also want to take a shot at the Mac shop comment someone else posted, that's just ridiculous.
