I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at CTI Data (Boston, MA) in Nov 2011
Interview
Had a series of phone interviews of which started as introductory and then next with what my background was, and finally a list of required work and how I would attack completing the work. I believe the interview process was to the point and structured but loose enough to allow avoiding the "red tape" of other more traditional interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a "day in the life" of your current position.
