I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Medialets (New York, NY) in Nov 2015
Interview
Took forever. Strung me along with positive feedback given to the recruiter, as well as myself, only to select someone else with zero feedback to me as to why.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Medialets (New York, NY) in June 2015
Interview
Fairly easy interview. I met with 3 people including the CEO. It was all very casual and they made you feel very relaxed. We just talked casually in a small conference room. They all asked me to explain my résumé a little more. They asked basic questions about strengths and weaknesses, and had you explain your experiences. Overall it was a good interview. They made sure to explain the position to me including the day to day tasks etc.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Medialets (New York, NY)
Interview
Like other reviews I saw on here, much of the same blah blah blah, they post the position on job boards while still making you believe they are interested in you. During the 4 month long process, 5 other recruiters unknowingly reached out to me about the role I thought I had a good shot of getting. When I made it to the end of the process, the COO asked engineering questions and described the role as being something very different than what I had been interviewing for the last 4 months. So if you want to wait out the grueling process and loose a few brain cells, I would recommend seeing it through. For a start-up they are stable, you can certainly learn a lot, they pay well, and have major clients in the space. They are giving Apple a run for their money. But losing when it comes to ethics and how they treat people.
On the downside, the office is a hot desk environment, the turnaround is really bad, the interview process is grueling and they have no respect for your time, they draw a gray line and break many laws when it comes to recruiting which can result in distortion of your application, and based on the ethics displayed in this process it does not feel like a good place to work.
