I applied online. Process took about 2 weeks total. The recruiter communicated promptly and proactively throughout the process regarding next steps. The interview process is laid out clearly on the job posting page. After the initial application there was an Online Assessment (40 minute SAT-like quiz), a phone screening, a technology assessment, a role-playing challenge interview (followed by a quiz), and a final interview. Everyone I spoke with was great, and able to answer my questions about the position and the interview process and the company. I took some time to prepare in advance for the challenge interview, but didn't feel like any of the steps were overly time consuming.

My interview experience began with an unusually long and thorough chat with an internal recruiter who asked excellent questions and explained the hiring process. The next step was an aptitude test with questions that felt relevant to the role and less like the IQ-style tests I'd taken with other companies. Then there were two rounds of simulated project work with Emergent folks playing the part of the client. Peppered throughout the process were lots of technical questions that helped gauge my level of knowledge. This was a difficult interview process but it was also a lot of fun and gave me ample room to demonstrate my skills and my style. At the end, I felt that Emergent really understood what I would bring to the team and how I would contribute to the company culture.
