I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Alteryx (London, England) in Sept 2015
Interview
Phone interview after this there was no further communication.
They asked me what I did at my previous job.
I am glad I never heard from them back I found the people on the top quite stuck up.
They think they are the bees knees but they are a simple startup with a good product nothing more.
Having worked for a company with 100000 plus employees I find the attitude of this top guys
frankly laughable.
They expected an obedient quite employee with no kind of self worth and I felt there was an expectation for me to almost beg for the job.
No thanks I can do much better.

What did you do before.
Why should we hire you typical competency questions
Had an initial screening call with the recruiter. He was late and then admitted the company was struggling. Spent most of the interview outlining the absurd interview process. It started with a take home test, third party of course, followed by FIVE different interviews. At this point I just laughed and refused to go any further.
Call with recrutier, asking my current situation and future prespectives
What atracted me to answer the add... proceed to describe the job position
In the end we agree to think about it and decided later wheter or not to move forward with the process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Alteryx
Interview
Reached out to by recruiter on LinkedIn. Both recruiters I met with were friendly. Next stage was behavioral call with hiring manager, and then following stage was 3 separate interviews consisting of: behavioral with team, technical with team and final call with hiring manager.
The technical was providing high level definitions for different programming terms (i.e. what's boxing). What struck me as odd (and 1 reason for the negative experience) was when I was asked to provide on a scale of 1-10 my expertise in C#. I feel it's a bit arrogant to respond 10 so I went with 7. The 2 interviewers weren't thrilled about that and we spent the remainder of the time discussing why 7 and not 10.
Was told I'd hear back by next business day, however was ghosted by hiring manager and recruiting team afterwards.
