Fairly straightforward interview process and, in general, had a good time meeting with everyone. I do understand the overwhelming negative reviews for the interview process though after having completed interviews at several other companies recently - the way the San Francisco team is run is miles behind other tech companies in the Bay Area right now. I had a phone screen followed by a day of onsite interviews (met with 7 people). The interviews seemed to go well, had to prepare an outside assignment for the team, and then was told that I didn't have the right experience necessary for the role - something that never came up during the interview process. If this was the true feedback, this is something we could have sussed out far earlier in the process rather than waste everyone's time (note: I ended up being hired into a VP of Global Talent at a rival company after this interview, so not sure how I didn't have experience to oversee a smaller team). I wish Funding Circle the best of luck - they're trying to "hire the top people in the world" (as everyone told me) into a organization that doesn't have those people yet for quite low salaries (this was brought up several times by several different interviews) into a space that's dominated by companies with much more impressive technology. That said, I *was* still excited by several of the people I met; just unimpressed with how the company itself is being run, though I suspect the SF team doesn't have much say in that just yet.

Oh man, where do I start, what an insanely intelligent and accommodating team. I have many good things to say about the mission of the company but the people I met was really the true selling point. Had a screen with HR and shortly after was invited on-site for a 4 hour interview. Very focused interview team, little redundancy.
