Interview
Hands down, the most unprofessional interview experience I've ever been through in my entire life.
I was scheduled to take a developer challenge from 6-8pm. They didn't send me instructions until 7pm after I emailed them and claimed that the delayed start was a way to "gauge interest" and that they usually get emails from candidates right after the start period. They totally wasted my time and energy.
Regretfully, I started the challenge, but some of the instructions were unclear and I was unable to finish. I provided feedback and they defensively claimed "no one else has had similar problems."
I withdrew my application then and there as they didn't strike me as the type of people or the type of organization I would ever want to work for.

Interview
The interview was standard and nothing difficult.
However, the hiring manager looked like she would rather be anywhere else than interviewing me.
In all- she didn't look too happy (one of their core values) to be doing her job.

Interview
The people who interviewed me were nice and very knowledgeable. It was not a very difficult interview. It seems to be a very nice place to work at. I would recommend this company.
