I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Jet in Jan 2016
Interview
I was contacted by Jet through a recruiter. The first phone interview was very straight forward with many basic C# questions. The second interview was a Skype video call. I did very well on the first interview and had a very good feeling going into the second. The Fibonacci question caught me completely off guard as this programming style was not something I expected and was not prepared to handle it.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Basic C# questions: Abstract vs interface, SQL Join vs SQL Union, Process vs Thread, Value type vs Reference type, and when to use an extension method.
Using the following:
public static Func<int, int> Y(Func<Func<int, int>, Func<int, int>> f)
{
return x => f(Y(f))(x);
}
Create a Func<int, int> which computes the n-th Fibonacci number using only anonymous lambdas.

Interview
I interviewed with Jet.com over the Summer. The phone screen was quick and seemed like more of a formality than anything. I received an interview request and went in for a four hour in person interview with 8 different employees of Jet.com. Many of the people that I met with had little or nothing to do with the team that I had applied to and with one exception, each of those 8 employees talked about themselves or the company for 25/30 minutes and then asked if I had any questions. I really wasn't asked any questions about my background or experience.
I was very excited about this interview and was very disappointed with the overall process. I also sent thank you emails to each of the 8 people that I met with. Never received a reply or any sort of follow up after the interview. Very unprofessional.

Interview
Passing the screening interview was easy. Hiring manager didn't ask me one question about my history, skills or anything about my working knowledge. Asked me questions as if I already worked there like how the company runs.
