The process was a bit of a time sink. There was an initial interview about 30 minutes long, followed by a take home assessment which takes a few hours if I remember correctly. After that was a 1.5 hour coding & technical interview. Finally, there is also a 1 hour architecture and design interview. To me, this seems a bit overkill for a job that will pay about 100k. The worst part, however, was during the coding interview. There was a SQL based question that was written in a very ambiguous way. When I asked multiple clarifying questions, it was revealed that both the interviewers had different interpretations of the question themselves. I'm already under enough stress during an interview with 2 people watching me code, and now I have to decipher how their poorly worded problem should be interpreted. This team (which is the old Rubikloud) should get in gear a little bit and if they make a new question, properly vet it. Moreover, train the interviewers so that they are at least on the same page when it comes to what a solution should look like. I remember leaving that interview thinking that team must have pretty significant communication problems.

I received 14 minutes delayed call from the interviewer. Probably she predetermined that she would reject me. So, didn't ask me anything specific. Just told about the position and ask me about myself. Very disappointing experience. I received rejection just 3 hours after the phone interview.
