I was contacted for a phone screen, and then a week later was invited in to interview for about 3 hours the following week. I waited another week or two and was hoping for a "yes" or "no", but was told I needed to have a skype-style call with the head of the department. Following this, I got a call maybe a week later with an offer. The process probably took 5 weeks but I would have liked it to take less time between each step.
I liked and connected with everyone I interviewed with---it felt like they really wanted me to succeed. The interview process was very smooth internally and communication with the recruiting team was great.
I applied online. I interviewed at AppNexus in Apr 2018
Interview
The interview process was very quick in terms of scheduling. I had a phone screen and then was able to go to the office for one on one.
Too Long 3 different people for 1 hour each, spent almost half a day.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AppNexus in Apr 2014
Interview
Applied online, which quickly led to a phone call with HR. Soon after had a phone call with the hiring manager and talked about my background and knowledge of the industry; 30min nothing technical. After some coordination of schedules, went into HQ with 5 back to back 1:1 interviews. These interviews ranged from technical to behavioral. Everything was super casual and seemed like an offer/fit from the first interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked to walk through resume and answer 'why' decisions were made at critical junctures. Interviewer didn't accept 1st response and pushed for most fundamental truth.
