I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at InComm (Portland, OR) in Jan 2020
Interview
The onsite was organized and relatively casual. There were four interview groups of two people each and a tour of the office which was surprisingly small for the size of the company.
Most of the questions asked were process & culture oriented. They didn't ask very much technical questions at all. And the technical questions they asked weren't very DevOps-y in nature.
Mid-way through the interview, there was a code challenge which featured 3 different problems in 3 different languages with 60 minutes to complete. The engineers stayed in the room to watch the solution. The engineers were very friendly but the code challenges were rather difficult and I was completely unprepared for it.
I waited over 3 weeks for the recruiter to send me an automated email telling me I was declined. 3 weeks after an interview is a wholly unacceptable amount of time to wait, and I feel I could have done better on the code challenge if I knew what to expect.
Overall, the interview process itself was fine but my recruiter really dropped the ball. They did not give me any insight into the interview process so I was not as prepared as I should have been.

Interview
Was contacted by a recruiter on Linkedin. Had her give me a call. Position was a few steps down from what I was previously doing, pretty low pay as well, but I just moved to a new city, so I figured I would get something until something better came along.
Spoke with the hiring manager the next week, had a good conversation. Talked to him about my background. Scheduled an in person interview with himself and the team.
First I meet with the hiring manager and a teammate. I'm again explaining my experience and he's like, "I'm trying to figure out how your experience ties into this job" Bro, this job is not that hard. That's interesting though, considering the teammate said she came from retail before this job, LOL. Anywho, after that, he began to tune me out. I'm answering questions and he's staring off into space and whatnot, not really paying attention. He then asks me to complete a logic puzzle about 4 people, a bridge and a torch. Sir, this is not Google, Microsoft, or Facebook. You're doing way too much for this $20 an hour job. After that, I spoke to two other teammates. One asked me what kind of alcohol I like to drink. You could tell they didn't really like their jobs. After the interview, the hiring manager did not even come back to the interview room to say goodbye.
Few days letter the recruiter emailed me saying they went with someone else. Yay! I meant to withdraw anyway. The interview was handled very poorly and unprofessionally. They wanted someone with tech experience. but the pay was well below average. If I had all the tech experience, I would not be working there, trust.

Interview
I had a great interview with the Director of Software Engineering. He was to the point and so was I. We jumped right into it with the technical questions, without really an introduction. 45 minutes of technical questions of various topics from C#/.NET, database design, OOP and REST.
I asked him to tell me the answers of the questions I got wrong, so I could learn. I felt like I got something out of the interview because he agreed. Very nice of him. Stern, but so was I.
