Started with a good phone screen from one of the lead developers. Likable guy - good interview, went well. Subsequently invited for in-person. Building is very modern - glass walls, fishtanks, open space. Interview room itself was tiny. Basically, a little glass closet. Fine for 2 people, but somewhat awkward for me and the 5 or so people squeezed in with me. The technical interviews are pretty good - by no means easy. The manager himself was very tough - kind of confrontational in his approach. Although turned off by this, I ended up accepting a long term contract assignment. Its a good company to work for. Summer Party is great. When you quit BLP as an employee you can -never- return. At least that was the policy for years (this may have changed).
