I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at OpenTable (New York, NY)
Interview
A brief screening conversation with a recruiter followed by an hour-long technical grill from a principal engineer with zero feedback.
The process was entirely automated through Greenhouse with literally no human conversation outside of the interviews. All of my responses to the machine's "excitement" to move forward were met with silence.
The technical grill session with the principal engineer was a series of 20-30 questions asked in succession with no feedback or resemblance of a human conversation. I could have been talking with a robot for all I knew.
Over a week later, I received a rejection letter packaged as an ad from their partnered recruiting platform. Somehow, they believe selling my data to a third party makes the pill taste sweeter.
All in all, the process was the worst in class - a fever dream of the worst possible experiences one can achieve on the web.

Question 1
It took the company so long to render their rejection letter that I can't recall a single question.

Interview process was quite fast.
1. Phone call with a HR. This interview was based on my cv and my skills, also salary expectations
2. Interview with a Team Leader
3. Interview with a team engineer
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at OpenTable (New York, NY)
Interview
Questions were way too easy for a Principal level position. It started to feel like a bait and switch into a senior dev position. Even if I was invited back for the last round, I probably would have declined.
