Things I have heard of today for the first time:
The company factset (financial stuff)
nlp research at bing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuro-linguistic_programming
I wrote down a short summary of my hiring process at TW which I don't think will give anyone any clues on how to game the system, but which helps me keep straight in my head what happened. Here it is. (One line per item)
- Contact w recruiter (for me, at IIT career fair and then again at GHC10)
- Email test on ethos/writing skills
- Email code test
- In-office Wonderlic test, TW proprietary logic test
- In-office pair programming w/ 2 TWers on prev code test, interview w/ HR re: travel fitness and decisionmaking skills in client situations, interview w/ head of Chicago office
- Get a phone call. Get a packet of papers to sign. Sign papers, mail them back.
- In-office Agile workshop (for me it was after signing, but for many others it was before)
