the questions were straightforward. Interviewed with the hiring manager, architect, and a senior software engineer. The questions were focused on projects I worked on followed by open ended coding questions.

Question 1

Explain what is long polling?
I applied online. I interviewed at AOL (Dublin, Dublin)
Interview
It is very long and detailed interview.
First a phone call with HR department, then online coding test, then interview in person.
Interview in person is very long (about 5 hours) and consists of:
- online coding test (again)
- 4-5 different interview sections with different groups of people - cultural fit, technical interview and a couple more to see if you fit in the company mindset.
Two online coding tests and technical interview are simply too much.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AOL (Dublin, Dublin) in Apr 2017
Interview
- Online test
- Phone call
- 1:1 online interview with an engineer
then the engineer said you did really well and they will invite you for the next round. Got an email after a day from HR team explaining you did very well and we are impressed but we are going to hold the process of hiring at the moment and it might take a few months to be able to do this again.
Doesn't makes sense to me and this was the first time I had this experience.
