Technical Round: In-depth evaluation of technical expertise through problem-solving scenarios, coding exercises, system design discussions, and architecture-related questions.

Also included discussions around best practices, performance tuning, and collaboration in development workflows.

There was an HR screening and then two technical phone interviews. After that I was asked to develop an application that met their requirements. It took me about 15 hours of effort to compete this. Then I was invited for on-site for a 4 hour long interview. All of which I was told went great. I then heard nothing from Aquent, even after sending multiple follow up emails.
