Pretty easy. Had a casual first interview. Then a second interview with the CEO. After that I was hired after some quizzing. After that I received a call with the offer and that was it.

Vorstellungsgespräch

Phone interview and was called in to meet with the team. The initial interview went well and the person I talked to really liked me but when the team met me in person, I could tell the new person I met had no intention of bringing me on board after they saw me and they didn't try to hide that fact. I'll leave it at that. Besides that, they have you fill out a 7 page questionnaire that takes forever to fill out.

This is one of the unpleasant interview process i ever went through.

At the end of the day I was not selected for the role because of the following reasons

* I didn't have skills which match what their tech stack was doing.
* Secondly because of the top level executive who before even starting to interview me told me frankly I didn't fit their mold because I worked for big companies in the past.
* Finally they're looking for Dev ops guru combined with Database tuning expert combined with skills working in the same mapreduce model they use for sending emails to their consumers.

Usually in an interview companies seems to account for adaptability as an Engineer to see how much change they have adapted to in the past but here they make decision purely off how much your skills aligned with their own technology.

I wish they had given a second phone screen so i didn't have to waste a full day on their onsite interview where I had zero chance from get go.

Even if they had given me an offer I don't think they would've matched my current compensation because in the onsite interview after hearing my current bonus i make the hiring manager said new hires aren't usually part of bonuses on first year and asked if i am okay with that.

As for specifics about onsite they had a round on mapreduce whose primary purpose was telling me that mapreduce models and real time processing I worked on using Apache Storm and Apache Kafka wasn't the way they setup their own model.

Another round on coding and caching questions which was the only one i enjoyed.

Another round with 2 devops guys one of them who never asked a question.

Final round was with the Top level executive.

The company is small and privately held but attempts to imitate the Google hiring process that an executive read about - case studies, huge questionnaire, personality tests, essays, panel interviews, etc. Overall, the process was a huge investment of time and much of it seemed not pertinent to the position. This may be effective for a large organization that understands what information it is trying to obtain through the process, but was not well executed here.

I interviewed with the hiring manager in May and the interview went very well. I was asked to come back for a second interview with the CEO and it seemed like his goal was to trip me up, ask a question that I couldn't possibly know the answer to.

The interviews are difficult and long. They do extensive case studies. A lot of hands on tests with Excel. Many detailed questions about my past work experience and jobs. I spent most of the time with a single person and then spent 30 minutes with 2 other people. Overall very through and I'm sure they hire only good people using this process.

Vorstellungsgespräch

One of the best interviews I have ever been on. They didn’t ask a single stereotypical interview question, we spoke entirely about the industry, data management techniques, and traffic. I went in prepared with a few years of industry experience so they were able to ask interesting questions and let me ramble on about technical details that would normally put people to sleep.

I was contacted by HR, phone interview with hiring manager, completed a case study, and flew out to Ft. Myers.
