Colloquio
Overall, it’s a 4 step process.
Recruiter call, followed by hiring manager (discussed about projects, tech background and small coding problem). Once it is through, there is a online coding challenge.
The final round is onsite interview:
Team is very friendly and helpful all the time.
It’s a 4 round interview:
Hiring manager interview
Cultural fit interview
Coding interview (not so complex, but I could not make it on time with some hints)
Design interview (distributed caching design, and some questions on consistent hashing and on AWS)
Overall, interview/questions are so not tough and it’s a positive experience with all interviewers.
One thing I think they could do better is: provide feedback or response (at least after few days) after the interview is complete.

Colloquio
The fastest process ever. I was contacted by recruiter through linkedin, quick intro call, hackerrank.
Next day after I passed hackerrank I was invited 4 hours long onsite with 4 people.
All interviewers were friendly and generally very nice persons to talk with, definitely one of the better experience so far.

Colloquio
Initial screen call with HR rep. Hour long call with hiring manager.
A lot of out of context questions on certain skills and experience. I finally realized they wanted to hire me for past experience and skills that were not part of the job description.
I asked about it, and then let them know I wanted to use my current skills and not deprecated ones. The interview tone changed to a formal politically correct blow off. The interview ended a bit early. No further response even after 3 followup emails from me.

Can we pretend to hire you for what you want to do, then move you to a dead end role?
