Colloquio
Sent out an email with cover letter and resume, received automated response almost immediately telling that a human with review my resume and will get back to me in any case. The next day or so I received an email from an HR person to schedule online interview (they asked me to tell them my 3 preferable times to meet and we agreed on one of them). On scheduled time I met with a guy over the phone/screensharing, we talked for a few minutes about my experience, current job, etc., I asked few questions about FogCreek and we moved to programming part. There was a problem to solve on strings, nothing difficult, but since I was little nervous, I proposed not the most efficient solution (the efficient one came up to my mind right after I coded my initial solution and we discussed pros and cons or those two afterwards) and this was the reason I failed.
Btw, they don't care which programming language you are using to solve the problem - there's a shared text board and you can write in any language you like - algorithms and data structures are the only things that matter.
The next day I received a letter saying that currently they have nothing to propose to me and they wish me all the luck. The overall process was extremely pleasant and it was a great experience.

No hard questions, just have to keep in mind that you have to provide solution as efficient as possible.
Fog Creek is has the most organized of screening process I could imagine. Really shows that their core competency is project management software.
The interview process was described as five 1-on-1 technical interviews. The interviews are strictly technical, and result in a hire/no-hire vote within hours. As long as I make it through the 5 without getting two no-hires, then the next step is a job offer.
I participated in one technical interview, writing javascript code on a shared whiteboard. I answered all questions and solved the problem to every level of complexity asked. The hour went fast, and at the end I asked if there was any other problems or details he would have asked if we had more time, and he said no, I had answered everything he had. Then I got the goodbye form letter. Apparently that guy's vote counted twice because I was out.

Whatever you do, don't say the word "array" unless you're making fun of it. These guys love stacks and pointers. It probably also hurt me that I chose Javascript as the language. You can't be a programmer unless you're a Java programmer.

Emailed in my resume, heard back maybe 2 weeks later from someone in HR. Spoke with her, had a brief phone call with someone else, mainly just giving me info and making sure I was worth the time for an engineer to interview. This was followed up with a technical phone interview.

Standard question. Interview definitely played to my strengths and tried to help where needbe.

Application was very easy. You e-mail your resume. A follow-up bot responds and asks for any additional information that you might have left out.
Some time later, a human schedules a 15-minute phone screen as a quick bozo filter. This is to determine if you are worth spending interview time with a more technical and expensive employee.
The next interview was over the phone, and was overwhelmingly a technical demonstration to prove that you do, in fact, know how to write software. I was dropped after this point, given the explanation that it was a "painful choice" to pass over "extraordinarily promising" candidates.

Write a stack-based calculator that uses reverse Polish notation as I watch you do it on a shared text area.
