Colloquio
Phone screen with the director for the team to which I was interviewing. Went well, we talked about my background and skills, what I was looking for, and what they were trying to accomplish. The onsite portion consisted of several hour-long interviews, including an hour for lunch. They questions were fairly easy, in the general vein of problem solving, design patterns, distributed computing, and programming questions.

Colloquio
The hiring manager did not show up at our originally scheduled meeting time. We rescheduled. The HM name dropped a bunch of big tech companies that they worked for in the past. It felt like the HM was hoping for me to provide a similar list of familiar brand names ... which was odd considering their supposed desire for more startup-y people.

Tell me about a challenging project that you worked on.
The process was expected compared to most comparable jobs. Demonstrate and know your coding and you will do fine. The interview was fair and the hiring managers were all tech savvy. I accepted a different development position with another company a few days after the interview. It was a good experience overall.
