I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Qualtrics in Jan 2016
Interview
It was disorganized. Every round was technical. I went through 3 rounds (2 phone + 1 skype). Solved all the problems, but had my application rejected at the Hiring Committee. When asked for feedback, I was refused and given a generic response. A slow, painful process and at the end, no feedback was even given.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Interview 1:
Asked basic algorithm questions
Interview 2:
Asked to implement a Trie
Interview 3:
How to serialize a Binary Search Tree? What special properties can you use that you can't use when serializing a normal Binary Tree? Write code to recreate the Serialized Binary Search Tree?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Qualtrics
Interview
Pretty standard, straightforward process. First: a technical coding Skype interview. If you pass, you'll get second one within a week or two. Second: onsite invitation (a combination of a sell day, culture fit, and one or two technical interviews). The onsite day was great, they flew all of the candidates out and put them in a hotel and reimbursed travel/food expenses. The Provo office is already large and established, and the Seattle office is still relatively small but growing.
Overall, all of the engineers and HR staff I interacted with at Qualtrics were fantastic people. The process was very transparent and timely; the product itself is actually pretty interesting, given that amount of data the company is collecting. Interns have a lot of agency over their projects.

Question 1
Standard datastructures and algorithms questions. Didn't get any DP.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Qualtrics (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me to start the process. There was one technical phone interview (standard 5-10 min intros, 30 min technical question, 5-10 min ask questions) and then the onsite afterward. The onsite was 3 technical interviews that were an hour long each. In 2 of them, it's a 1 on 1 interview and in 1 of them it's a 2 on 1 interview. After interviews, they served us lunch and gave a 30 minute demo of the product. If you passed onsites, there was a hiring manager interview where they told me that it would be mostly behavioral with a little coding. This was a lie. The whole interview was coding excluding the intros and asking questions at the end parts. The question was difficult as well, so I was kinda caught off guard.

Question 1
Implement an iterator for a binary tree using any traversal, find all combinations of values in an array that sum to a given target value, find the smallest multiple of a number that only contains 0s 1s and 2s, determine if a number is a power of 2 iteratively and recursively, given (x,y) on pascal's triangle find the number belong to that coordinate, convert a binary tree to a doubly linked list, implement getAt(int index) and insertAt(int index, char value) for an unrolled linked list.
