I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Soar Tech (Hazel Park, MI) in Oct 2015
Interview
Company is looking for a specific type of person and can't think outside of the box. If you don't have an advance degree in computer science. Don't waste your time. Phone interview was fine. But in person interview was a pain. Two part process where first part is program a singly linked list from scratch in Java or C while connected to a projector and being questioned for every little detail you type. Makes thinking very difficult and constantly being questioned for the details worse. The second interview was if you have a robot how would you have it get from its start point to desired point using certain sensors. It was a fun exercise and that's about it. Whole process made me feel like it was a waste and they were wasting my time because I didn't fit their usual profile of an employee. Being innovative means thinking differently than the crowd and you will never achieve that if you keep on hiring the same ole computer science major from the local university.

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.
