   Application

   I applied online. I interviewed at Hootsuite (Canada)

   Interview

   1 - 30m Phone Screen
   2 - 2 hour Coding Test
   3 - 1 hour Behavioural Interview
   4 - 1 hour System Design Interview
   5 - 1 Hour Coding Test (Again?)
   6 - 15m Feedback about interview process
   
   The whole process took about 4 weeks
   
   This company really needs to get their act together. The interview process is far too long, involves far too many people, and has the candidate repeating a lot of information. They claim their process isn't all that long and is "shorter than google or amazon." Amazon and Google can afford to have a laborious interview process because people would work their even if the first step was a 30m waterboarding. This place sounds like it's desperate for people, gave me positive feedback, and then rejected me with a canned response. The people seem fine, but the process just scared me away.
