I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Soar Tech (Ann Arbor, MI) in Oct 2017
Interview
The interview process involved 3 steps - a phone interview, a remote programming test, and an all-day, onsite interview.
The onsite interview consisted of various sessions with department heads, testing my technical ability and solving problems on white boards. I was also required to prepare and give a presentation on a technical project I was passionate about.
Overall, it was an incredibly positive experience. The people at SoarTech are wonderfully kind and helpful, and this was easily the most delightful interview I've ever had. The CEO even took time out of his day to speak with me and get to know me personally. It all made answering the tough, technical questions much less stressful.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Soar Tech (New York, NY) in Jul 2020
Interview
The interview process is three parts and the third part was a presentation as well as an HR session. They are not prompt in response and after three weeks of interviewing the application was rejected. Does not value the candidates time.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Soar Tech (Orlando, FL)
Interview
There are 3 parts. The phone screen, remote programming test, and final onsite. Phone screen is pretty straight forward background information, interests, simple programming question, etc... Now the remote programming test is the tedious part. It’s 3 hours. 2 hours coding + 1 hour of discussion and quite challenging for an entry level position. Although you are allowed to use online sources to complete it, it takes up a lot of time for just one step of the process. Then the third stage is the final onsite interview consisting of system design and software architecture questions. It’s a small company but the hiring process is quite rigorous and time consuming.
