I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at 3Sharp (Redmond, WA) in May 2018
Interview
Phone interview covered both work experience and technical skills. Was concerned based on questions that I didn't have some technical skills needed.
Interview loop of 5 people from management and others.
Asked a lot of customer communication and problem-solving questions.
Asked to simulate how one would talk about using the software.
In the end, here is comes down to creativity and attitude.
The products they work on are always changing so technical skills have to be learned as needed, but everyone here is positive, detailed oriented and creative in how they solve problems.
