The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Alarm.com (New York, NY)
Interview
I had a short screening interview with HR, then a hackerrank, followed up by a 3.5 hour series of one-on-one interviews. Nothing challenging, mostly discussing what was on my resume. The only coding we did was review my hackerrank submissions. My recruiter was very hard to contact and wouldn't respond to emails.
