I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Merkle (Dallas, TX) in May 2015
Interview
1 Telephonic interview. It was mainly technical with questions from previous projects and experience. More emphasis was on Databases and Java. Questions were very basic like SQL queries, joins, indexes, and small database design. Also questions on generics, hash tables, and arraylists from Java.

1st with recruiter, 2nd given a home-test, 3rd with final with team mostly behavioral. Bad thing I made the test through a 3rd party company and they never received that. I spend 3-4 days fixing very bad code, I did very good job and none checked it or talk about it.
