The interview process was a bit lengthier than I expected. I think I ended up talking to a total of eight different people in one-on-one meetings. The first was a screening call with their internal recruiter, then a technical screening call with a development manager (no code exercises, just a few technical questions). After that was a pair programming exercise with a developer; it involved adding a new feature to an existing app. The next interview was a series of back-to-back, one-on-one interviews with four different employees. Some were definitely better than others. One of the interviewers seemed to be annoyed that that had to conduct an interview and just basically read questions off of a script. The final interview was with the CTO.

The process was conducted via email and Google Hangout – I never spoke to anyone on the phone. Steps: * Interview with hiring manager * Technical interview with a team member (conversational – no white boarding or code puzzles) * Take home project (4 hours expected; I found it to be realistic) * Interview to discuss submission from take home project * On-site in San Francisco * Co-founder interview (I assume this is the last step) Each step took about a week to hear whether I moved on. I didn't make it to the on-site. Overall the process and interactions were positive. My only misgivings were: 1) it took a too long to move me through their pipeline (I say that without knowing how many candidates I was competing with) 2) I don't feel like I had the full attention of the last interviewer. It felt as through the decision had been made and the interview was just a formality. I didn't feel engaged and it was the only part of the process I didn't feel good about afterward.
