I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ADARA in Jun 2019
Interview
I was added to the candidate pool through a referral. The technical recruiter reached out to me asking about my availability for a phone screen. I replied the next day and didn't hear anything back so I followed up a week later. The recruiter thanked me for following up and then sent me a calendar link to schedule a call. Then, he completely missed our call with no prior notice. After 10 minutes of waiting for the phone to ring, I emailed him reminding him about it and to let me know if he needed to reschedule. I got no response from him whatsoever. Five days later I get a generic email from the "Adara Recruiting Team" thanking me for "taking the time to interview" with them and that they wouldn't be moving forward. The recruiter didn't even show up for our interview so I have no idea what they are talking about. If they didn't want to move forward with interviewing me they should have just let me know BEFOREHAND instead of allowing me to go through the trouble of researching into the company and blocking out a chunk of my day for them. The recruiting team is extremely unprofessional and disorganized, and I am glad to not be moving forward with them.

Other Software Engineer interview reviews for ADARA
I applied online. I interviewed at ADARA (Palo Alto, CA)
Interview
Got an email from a recruiter to schedule an initial call for the position discussion, she re-schedule the call 3 times. Its been now 3 weeks, she did not call for the 3rd time.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ADARA (Mountain View, CA)
Interview
Process was a little unusual and I received very little information about the role or responsibilities throughout the process. Received almost no information from the recruiter and the first call with Adara was a technical interview over Skype instead of an HR or hiring manager call.
They brought me onsite for what I thought was the final interview, where I sat for two hours at a laptop solving some problems, then sat through several other one-on-one interviews. Half of the people on my schedule changed, and the last person, another engineer, didn't seem to really know what he was supposed to do. They provided lunch (they have catered lunch every day) which was nice.
I had another offer and so was under time constraints, so I was a little annoyed to find out they wanted another onsite interview, this time with leaders of various teams, and couldn't schedule it for another week. The actual meeting was just chatting with a few team leads and their CTO, and I received a reasonable offer later that day, but I received a far better offer the next day and passed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Online screen was just coding in a shared editor, but onsite was writing and compiling code. Most unusual part was that they wanted unit tests written as well, which I felt was pretty time-consuming for a coding test, but also pretty thorough. Actual problems were trivial.
