Colloquio
I was interviewed for their India office. The interview was rather smooth. I got a call from their Director of Recruiting from USA after couple of days of my CV submission. He discussed what kind of role I am looking for, and then scheduled my interview with a technical guy from USA. This technical interviewer was superbly nice. My next interview was also conducted over phone from USA. In these interviews I was asked what I am looking for, and of course online C coding using collabedit. However, my good impression about this company ends here.
My fourth round interview was from a guy from their India office, who was helplessly arrogant. Somewhere in the conversation, he needlessly mentioned that "I am the hiring manager". Somehow he had made his mind that I am not a "good fit" for the company, and hence wondered if we can continue with the "technical" interview. I was in a helpless position to defend my suitability after three round of interviews! In his eyes, a PhD work, which cannot be used as it is by a company, is impractical (give me a break!). Anyway, we proceeded with the technical interview, and after 30 minutes of interview communicated that I am not a "good fit" for the company.

It contained one technical round and one managerial round. Shortlisting was done for the interview based on a coding test. The test included 2 doable questions. The interviewers were very friendly.

Applied online, got an interview.
Phone interview auestion on k'th largest element in an array. Solved it in a few different ways. The interviewer was looking for a specific answer (partitioning) and didn't know his big O. I explained to him that bceause my solution using heaps was asymptotically superior cuz it's O(nlogn) but he was under the impression that partitioning has a worst case complexity of O(n) (it's O(n^2). He probably rote learned the solution on some website seemed like he was referring to it during the interview.
I asked the interviewer a few questions on their business model and got vague, generic answers, which was another put off.
Yet another thing to note is that the interviewer was sitting in a public area. Not that it's a big deal but was I kinda annoyed while he was talking with people moving about him. Expect the interview to be taken with some decorum. Overall the quality of the interview didn't indicate a company worth working for. I'd rather not work with such people. I'm really glad didn't move ahead.
