Flixster interview questions

2 Phone Screens 1 On-Site Interview

I was contacted through my StackOverflow Careers account by Flixster's head recruiter, and we set up an initial phone screen interview. During the phone screen I was asked a couple basic questions about my experience, and was told a bit about the company and interview process. Flixster has a bit of an involved process, with a phone screen, technical test/project over email, an inperson technical interview with multiple managers, and then another inperson interview with product managers and head engineers. After passing the phone screen and email project, I was asked to come in for a technical interview. I was applying for a mobile development position, and was interviewed by the Android manager, iOS manager, web manager, and the lead recruiter I had talked to previously over the phone. Each asked me to describe my experience on my resume, and then asked me a variety of questions. I was asked things related to UI layout and design, puzzle questions, technical/whiteboarding questions, and describing how I solved problems in my previous projects. Each interviewer was very nice and intelligent, and made the interview process very easygoing. The questions they asked were a good challenge but not impossible, and they were very responsive to talking about the problem and bouncing your ideas off them. I had a lot of fun during the whole process and felt very positive about the whole day. The entire process took about 4 hours. After passing the technical interview day, I was invited back for their second round. This consisted of me meeting a couple of the iOS team members, and they quizzed me a bit more on iOS/Objective-C specific questions. After that, I met with several product managers and the VP of Engineering (I believe was his title). They mostly asked me puzzle questions or asking how I dealt with the development cycle/working with product managers. I got the sense that this second round was very much a 'cultural fit' type of interview, and seeing if my mentality fit with what they were looking for in a candidate. I really enjoyed meeting with everyone that day, and it really showed that everyone at Flixster is very intelligent and self motivated.
