Interviewed Sep 2011 in Mountain View, CA (took a day)
I got a response for my application that they want to schedule a phone interview with me. I had to 2 technical phone interviews which were simple to crack. Then they called me in for on site interview. On site interview consisted of 4 rounds. They asked me core javascript questions and basic css stuff. They give lot of importance of html markup. One should be wise in choosing HTML tags as it effects search engines. Then there was another guy who just made me cry asking jQuery stuff.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Mountain View, CA (took 3+ weeks)
I really enjoyed the interview. It was very targeted to the role I was applying for. All the interviewers were very professional and easy to get along with. I was ultimately interviewed by 3 groups numbering 8 interviewers in total. You had your usual friendly people and hard interviewers that could smile more (nothing serious). All in all a great place to work!

Interviewed Apr 2012 in Mountain View, CA (took 1 week)
The hiring process consisted of a brief phone interview (not technical) with the hiring manager. I was asked to come over for an onsite interview that would last for 3 hours. A day before the interview, the recruiter informed me that the interview has been cut short to 45 minutes. Couple of engineers met me at the lobby, seems like they were unprepared because they were looking for empty conference rooms right at the time of the interview. The technical questions were generally easy, if you know basic data structures/algorithms, Big O notation, you should be good to go. (definitely not as hard as google interviews). The interviewers were very nice and professional.
I got the following feedback after the interview - " Interview went well. I sync up with interviewers and based on feedback the candidate has very limited technical skills geared towards C++ and little bit of scripting. Its a reject from our end"
It's funny because the reason I applied for this req is because it stated "Extensive programming experience in Objective C or C/C++".
Feedback to the hiring manager: you should get your requirements straightened out before you put out a req.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Mountain View, CA (took 3 weeks)
Positive: The hiring manager was very professional and knowledgeable. Most of the interview questions were challenging, so I felt future teammates would be smart people.
Negative: Experience with HR was mixed. One person was very professional, very engaged. The other HR person booked me a flight ticket for 9pm-5am overnight flight. One interviewer was a bit unprofessional.

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Mountain View, CA (took 2 months)
My phone interviews were fine and well-organized although one person called 10 minutes late. Things moved along quickly which was a good contrast to the reviews here, until I got to the in-person interview.
The specific time / location were changed dramatically the night before the interview. Everyone I met was great, although most of the interviewers cussed which I found unusual. Afterward though, the long period without a response was disappointing and changed my opinion about working for them. Like others have said, if your business is a recruiting platform, you had better have a good recruiting process!
Overall it wasn't a bad experience but it would have been a positive one if they had been prompt in letting me know that I wasn't a fit.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Mountain View, CA (took a day)
The phone interview questions were easy and related to the position I had applied for. As for the 1 on 1 interview the questions asked were in no way related to the job position, I was shocked and speechless I only knew how to answer one of the questions and could answer it in a confident manner. In the end I was not offered the position and the lady who interviewed me did not seem interested in what I had to say.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Mountain View, CA (took 6 weeks)
Process consisted of a 2 phone interviews, 3 onsite interviews. extremely professional demeanor.glad to be part of the company i truly admire.advice to be to not just talk clearly and answer to the point, but to 'listen' when the interviewer talks to you. so many times you are focused on what to say next, that you dont listen to something important they have to say.and yes, be prepared with basic questions that are expected based on your resume and things like'why this job' ' why not something else' etc

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Mountain View, CA (took 2 days)
Was contacted by the recruiter and then got a confirmation for the Phone Interview. The phone interview wasnt very difficult. Points covered were:
1. Use of Reset CSS
2. Form Submission ( cases of return False, event.PreventDefault)
3. Explain Semantic Markup
4. Explain Clearfix
5. what is hasLayout
6. Inline js and addEventlistener ( Compare)
7 diff between == & ===
8. speak of yourself and your role and experience
9. challenges you face
Then i was called for a onsite interview
I was to meet a total of four interviewers
Onsite interview was a little tough for me as i wasnt so good in remembering all the syntaxes
1. Question on CSS specificity
2. Javascript question and write a performance efficent code of a given example.
3. event.target
4. Write the addClass function in native js
5. How do you design a Navigation Bar
6. Question on form submission - Submit a form with a input text field and some check box fields. Before submit check if atleast 2 checkboxes are checked .
I could answer, but i was little fluent with all the syntaxes on native js.
But this was a good learning experience

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Mountain View, CA (took 1 week)
I found a guy from LinkedIn posted a twitter saying he accept resumes. I send my resume and expressed my interest. About several days latter he contacted me for arranging a phone interview.
He first asked about my experience, and we discussed a little about what he's being doing. Then he give the question like how to find the second larges element in a binary search tree.
