Interviewed Apr 2012 in Los Angeles, CA (took 6+ weeks)
This is the second position I was interviewed for with Hautelook. The first time I interviewed was in December 2011 for a contract position. I drove 2 hours to LA for my interview and was told I would probably have to come back to meet with someone the next week so I drove back home. Instead I get a call as soon as I take my exit to come back the next morning. So I basically, I drove 240 miles in less than 24 hours. I ask them at the end of my interview when I should expect to hear back - they told me end of the week. Dont hear back from them for weeks. Send 2-3 follow up e-mails until I finally got my response - no.
Interviewed for an HR assistant position last month. Had a basic phone interview. Was told I would hear back in 3-4 days. No response. Followed up a MONTH later. Was told "the team was still making a decision." That was 3 weeks ago.
Judging by how extremely irresponsible and horrible (not to mention, insensitive) the HR is at following up and sticking to their schedule, does not seem like this would be a decent place to work.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Los Angeles, CA (took a day)
Phone interview contained a variety of basic background check to see if you are qualified for the position. Next step is a one on one interview, which asked to see if you are comfortable in working in a team environment. With the basic, go through the resume and ask questions about your skills.

Interviewed Apr 2010 (took 2 days)
Probably one of the best interviews I've gone through. For the SQA position I met with an SQA Engineer, SQA Manager and CTO individually. I will say that they do their due diligence when knowing what to ask during the interview. I was asked technical questions of varying degrees of difficulty followed by some Google interview logic questions.
I was subsequently contacted a day after the interview by the CIO and offered the position. I accepted and am still currently working there.
A word of advise to those seeking employment at Hautelook within the technical/IT field: KNOW YOUR STUFF!!! If you put it on your resume, they WILL ask about it and you better be able to explain/answer any questions related to it.
Another word of advise in general when submitting your resume: It's Ok to put down a skill on your resume with which you have at least a working knowledge of. (ie, you can explain how you used it in any of your previous jobs effectively). I would suggest you NOT put down a skill that you used once in a job 2 years ago. (ie, I installed MySQL on my desktop at work 2 years ago and played around with it, so I guess I can put that on my resume).
Having said all that, Hautelook is a great place to work. The technical teams work well together and there is a very real sense of camaraderie among co-workers.
