Entretien
Went at their SF Office and got scheduled interview with 6 different people. I was ask to bring my own laptop for the coding exercise. Other interviews I had schedule where with the head of HR, CTO on leadership skills, Lead engineer on Design/Architecture, another leadership interview and interview with Product.
When I arrived, reception desk did not have my name at the entrance, so I had to call someone to get me in. First interviewer was 10mins late and we skipped intro so got straight to the coding. Question was fairly easy and was able to code it up, run couple of test cases and make some improvements with execution complexity.
This followed by interview lunch with HR person where we discussed my previous experience working with HR.
Next was leadership conversation with CTO. Pretty classic questions on management style, how/when to promote/fire someone, consensus reaching and working with product.
Design interview was about SOA and how to design the payments system. Interviewer was happy with the solution and we went on an deeply discussed current architecture that they have.
After getting back from the break, the room I had was occupied and HR contact told me that we should not continue the rest of the interviews. Got impression that CTO does not care about consensus reaching at all.

Entretien
First it was recruiter screen over phone followed by round 1 which had 2 interviews. First it was 60 min system design followed by 45 min team hiring/management interview. It seemed straightforward process.

Entretien
Had two interviews back-to-back. One was a system design interview and another was about leadership/hiring. In the system designs interview, the software engineer interviewing me was very rude and I could tell that I was not going to pass within the first 10 minutes. I started designing a system but he kept interrupting me and asking me questions about another component I haven't even gotten to yet. I like to break a problem down into smaller parts, design each component and tie it all together. Once I get an overall design, I may modify it depending on some requirements I may have not considered. However, it seemed that the engineer expected me to have the same design he had in his mind in the first 10 minutes and he did not let me finish designing even one component let alone finish a thought. Overall, had a very bad experience and if all engineers are like this, then not interested in working for this company.
