Phone screen by internal recruiter Long lapse Phone screen by hiring manager Traditional technical interview with manager and 3-5 staff Long lapse Phone discussion about position with manager Email of contract for 2 month trial as non-employee consultant at monthly rate Last-minute difficult heavily technical interview with CTO The staff and manager interviews were cool, but I thought the interviewers were not very well trained in the process and feedback indicated that they jumped to conclusions about ones suitabiilty for a task without inquiry into that area. The CTO interview was late at night, the CTO was not at all friendly, obviously very impatient with having to do the interview, and expected on-the-spot answer to a difficult algorithmic problem that should take a couple days at minimum to think through.
