Interviewed Mar 2012 in Santa Monica, CA (took 2 weeks)
Applied for the gig - recruiter called me up and did a basic round of technical questions. Went in and met with the team. First impression I had was that everyone on the engineering team was overworked. Their management team is fairly laid back and seemed to be rather disconnected from the folks doing the actual work. The best part of the interview was meeting with the CEO. Very smart guy who clearly knows the ins and outs of the CDN business.

Reason for Declining
While working for a CDN would definitely be an interesting company to work I got the vibe that Edgecast works it's employees to a grind. Most of the engineers I met looked tired, frustrated and pretty much wishing they weren't there. Also felt their dev team had a fairly cowboyish/hacker type attitude which really doesn't work well with release engineering. Their compensation packages and benefits are also fairly average.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Santa Monica, CA (took a day)
The recruiter wasn't very professional. He called me for phone interview and immediately offer me one on one interview, but I had to change the time since I already have a prior engagement needed to attend. He said that's fine and will confirm back with me. I followed with him again and confirmed the interview time and date, only as soon as we sat down during the interview, he started to tell me that actually this is not a right job for me and they already have someone else in mind that the manager would like. Then he said that the reason why he scheduled the interview with me becasue he likes the engery that I had on the phone...a bit weird.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Santa Monica, CA (took 6 weeks)
Played phone tag with the recruiter who had reached out to me for several weeks before scheduling a phone interview. I got the impression that their was either no urgency to hire for the position or they were too busy to interview candidates.
After getting through the phone interview roughly 3-4 weeks after I'd applied, I was brought in for a panel interview. Two of the executives brought their laptops into the interview. At first I thought it was for taking notes, but then I realized that they were typing emails and doing work throughout the entire interview. They pelted me with a lot of standard interview questions and some not so standard. In the end, I felt more like I was being judged than interviewed. I sent thank you's to each person involved in the interview and only got a response from one. The whole process took about 6 weeks and then I never heard from them again.
