Colloquio
Found the job listing on their website. Applied and heard from them via email. Had a telephone interview (non-technical) and then an on-site (North Carolina) interview. Everyone involved in the process was very young -- there seemed to be very little age-diversity there. The interview process involved a lot of programming and solving logic puzzles at a whiteboard while trying to explain what I was thinking to the interviewer. This made it impossible for me to concentrate on the problem. I felt their interview was useless in that it did not give them any idea of what my skills were and why I would have been a good fit for their position. There were also a lot of communication issues with them -- confusion over the dates and times for the interviews.

Besides the usual silly logic puzzles, one question was "How would you test a whiteboard marker?" Since part of the reason I am good at testing software is that I have developed it, I felt that this question was not usefule -- I know very little about how whiteboard markers are produced.
