I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at X (London, England) in June 2016
Interview
First interview with the developer manager on-site, he tested my experience and then asked a couple of easy algorithms.
After a week I have been contacted from the recruiter who told me I passed directly to the last step on-site where I got 5 interview with 5 engineers. First one was with the backend developer lead, she tested my experience and knowledges. All the other 4 interviews have been hold from a data scientist engineer, 2 iOS engineers and the iOS tech lead and they involved knowledges, algorithms and in some case unit tests.
After 15 days I got a call from the recruiter who said the wanted to offer me the role.
Phone screen, followed by two coding rounds, one system design, and one HM/behavioral round. Prepare with LeetCode tagged questions related to data structures, algorithms, and system design topics. Prepare for Behavioural in STAR method.
Went through two screenings and virtual onsite. Technical team members were friendly and great to speak with. Recruiters were pretty awful - the one that set up the virtual onsite gave everybody different zoom links and trying to find the correct room to join really cut into my interview time and made me stressed out during the VO. Main recruiter scheduled a phone call to discuss results after the VO for when it was past midnight in my timezone but never called or responded to my followup.
To the recruiter: you don't need to try to keep me warm by scheduling a phone call and ghosting me when I only asked you whats the decision timeline. If its rejection just email to let me know instead of wasting more of my time especially when its late in my timezone.
In general this would've been a positive experience if the recruiters weren't so bad.
