I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paramount (Burbank, CA) in Jan 2017
Interview
The interview process was too long and included too many people.
Round 1 - Recruiter (Initial Phone Screen)
Round 2 - Phone screen w/ hiring manager
Round 3 - Face-to-face interview with the hiring manager and 3 members of the team (Trial/Working Session)
Round 4 - Video conference with a key stakeholder.
Round 5 - Video conference with the hiring manager.
Round 6 - Video conference with the Senior Director of IT
Round 7 - Video conference with the VP of Engineering
In order for me to attend all of these interviews, I had to be very flexible to accommodate everyone's schedule. It is obvious that CBSI takes their hiring process seriously, but I hope they find a better way to do it without having to create more stress and anxiety for the candidates. I hope I never have to go through this again.

I applied online. I interviewed at Paramount (New York, NY)
Interview
During initial phone screen, the recruiter was incredibly rude and judged every response I gave. Left a bad taste in my mouth about the company and decided not to continue on the with interview process.
1st round with recruiter. very general question, the recruiter doesn't know about the team information who's hiring. He specifically asked why you don't need visa sponsorship if you're non-citizen. I said through family, and he constantly asked for details, what does family mean, is it through your husband? As a LGBTQ member I really feel offended while I said my partner, not my husbnd a few times.
