I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Fragomen (Matawan, NJ) in Apr 2015
Interview
I interviewed in April 2015 for the Matawan office. First I had to do online video questions which you can erase and keep recording until you are happy with them. Then after a week or so I had a video chat with a recruiter for the company which was very informal. Next I was asked to meet in person at the office, where I met with 6 different people for a half hour each, so it was a long day. I thought that was a smart way to interview me though, since they had all different levels of employees speak with me who were able to give me different perspectives. They told me I would hear something by the end of the week. I didn't, so I waited an extra week and finally emailed the HR woman I met. She ignored me. So I emailed the gentleman who set me up the interview. He got back to me and told me that I would hear something in the next few days, and that he got good feedback about my interview. I heard nothing again, and again waited a week before contacting him. When I did he told me that his supervisor called me already. I told him I hadn't spoken to anyone since him and he seemed to not believe me. I went for the next month not hearing a word from them. I finally emailed him out of frustration and he immediately called me, again told me that his supervisor said he called me, which he didn't. Then he asked that I be "more patient". That was 2 months after my in person interview. Needless to say I was done with them.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do I know you can be detail oriented with important information?
There were two interviews, one with HR and then with the team in person. There was some lack of communication in the middle of the process, with the HR not knowing if they would have openings in one or another office, so that required following-up.
Very simple - Phone interview and then in person interview. I was able to get more information on the role as well as expectations. Then I only had to wait a week to hear back and let them know if I was accepting. Overall a very easy interview process.
