Google interview (because Fitbit is owned by Google), after phone screening and one interview, I gave a presentation and had 5 interviews in one day. One interview about Googliness, one with programming, one with someone who was on a team outside of Fitbit, another with an international Fitbit team member, and two with people on the research team.

Question 1
You hypothesize that beard length will affect swim speed. How would you test this?
Phone interview, it is with the hiring manager after the first phone screening; it is a technical interview about my background and how to do diagnostics. It was about 45 minutes; Overall it went OK.
