Entrevista
I found the position on Craigslist. I applied and heard back the next day. They scheduled a simple, 60-min programming test to calculate f(n) when n=50. They then setup a general background 30-min phone interview. Even though I wasn't very familiar with C#/.NET (I had been learning but was coming from an embedded C/C++ background), the interview went well and they invited me to an on-site.
The on-site lasted 2 1/2 hours. The first 90 minutes were spent with the same person as the phone interview. We spent the entire time designing an elevator on a white board from objects to some of the functions and attributes needed. I was unprepared for this but the interviewer was helpful in getting started. The last hour was similar to the first but was a two-on-one consisting of a little background and designing a chess game. Everyone was really nice though I wasn't exactly happy about my performance.
About a week and a half later, I had another phone interview. This time, there were three people I hadn't spoken with yet on the other end and we designed a database.
A week after the last phone interview, I received an offer from another company. SDT declined to offer me a position at that time so I accepted the other offer. I was left with a good impression of the people and company. The only negative is that I have yet to be reimbursed for my travel expenses.

I had 6 separate calls/sessions with the company; which is extensive in my experience. I was very impressed with the intentionality and thoughtfulness of the entire interview process. Although it is a lot, the process gave me the chance to also interview the company as well.

Entrevista
Applied on their website. Had an introduction call with a recruiter where we went over the position and company. He did call their company a “family” which can be a red flag depending on how you view it. After the call he said he would check with the hiring manager regarding next steps. I didn’t hear back for a week so I emailed him. He said that he was on vacation which was why he didn’t get back to me, and that they were going to pursue other candidates. Being on vacation isn’t an excuse to ghost candidates. I’d be more that okay if you reached out to me first regarding my candidacy. Another weird thing was that I got an auto generated email a few months later about the position and that it was closed.

Entrevista
First was a conversation with the recruiter. She scheduled me for 3 back-to-back interviews. Each interview was with 2 people. The first interview involved me describing how I would design an election machine (i.e. database design). The second interview involved me describing how I would design an elevator (i.e. OOP). The third interview was more about culture and the company.
I thought it was weird that the two technical interviews involved zero discussion of healthcare. It felt like test questions that a CS student fresh out of undergrad would be able to ace, but I did not do very well. I was not able to demonstrate any of the knowledge I have about health insurance.
I did appreciate that everyone I talked to was very professional and the interviews did go smoothly.
