You are pre-screened by a recruiter and brought in for face-to-face interview. Once hired, you go through training requiring your to memorize a two page scrip. There is a test you need to pass and group presentation panel to actually secured your place on the team. Thereafter, its very similar to survivor contest as you watch your team member get voted off one-by-one.

Interview
I initially had a phone screen with one a team manager. Questions were basic Solaris questions, some network questions and a detailed overview of the job and location. I was contacted to come in for a group interview with more team managers. I was given a more detailed overview of the culture, the company goals and then was peppered by technical questions. I was asked how to calculate IP subnets which I struggled to answer. I was assured that they use a calculator and not to worry that I couldn't do this on the fly. Other than that the questions were fairly easy. I felt I had a great interview and was certain I was going to get an offer. Didn't happen, they chose someone else, making me wonder about that IP question. I was sad! I really wanted this job but who knows maybe it will open again and they will hire me.
