J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft en déc. 2013
Entretien
I got contacted by Xamarin about a week after sending my resume, and we set up a phone interview for the week after that. The phone interview was about 10 minutes and it focused on what the role is about and my personal experience. After the phone interview I was sent a written test composed of technical questions that a support engineer might get about Xamarin's software and how to work with it. After completing it successfully I was set to do an on site interview which was supposed to include an HR interview, personal interview, technical interview and finally an interview with Xamarin's CEO.
When I arrived to the interview I was greeted shortly by HR and warned that there may be a chance that the CEO will not be available for my interview but that everything else should proceed as planed. We started on time and went through the social interview, which was composed of general questions like why did I choose my career. When it was over the HR person came back and told me that BOTH the technical interviewer and the CEO aren't available for my interview and that we will need to reschedule, so I was sent home without seeing any of them! A day after my interview I inquired as to where do we go from there, and HR answered that they got a positive review from the first interview and that they will contact me again in 5 weeks (!!) to reschedule the interviews I didn't do.
I emailed Xamarin HR 2 weeks after my on-site interview, asking if we can set a new date in order to complete the interview process, and they replied that they canceled the position altogether and that they don't hire at all for that position.
Good coordination overall and easy going.
Recruiters were good and well versed
One of the final interviewer was really rude and looked down on the candidates. Others were good
Also it would be better to include expectations beforehand.

The interview process at Xamarin has many steps. It began with an introductory (half an hour) phone call. I was then given a take home test, simulating customer questions. Concurrently, I had a technical phone interview scheduled. The technical phone interview went over some basics of programming and mobile development. The next steps were as the following: an in person interview with management, then an additional in person with upper management.

I talked with almost the entire team (7 members) and the VP of Sales and Customer Success over 3 days. Started off with a phone conversation with the Director and one other member working at the same position. Then I was called in for 2 days of on-site interviews and a technical written test.
