There recruiting process is kind of absurd and selfish. They are not going to recruit you but will take up as much information from you as they want for the problems they are facing in building the product. Kind of a free consultation from your experience. They will keep you hanging till the final round and give weird reasons on why not to select after you finish all of the interviews. Fact is they don’t have money and with this kind of ethics they are not going to survive for long.

So the interview process is very complex and perhaps cumbersome. Three phone interviews and then an on-site interview. The interview process was very professional but definitely lacked efficiency. For example, the interviewer will ask you a series of questions about your skillset and then try to probe deeper to determine your range of knowledge. This is great but they spend a lot of their time typing everything you say over the phone. This can be incredibly annoying because they only give you half of their attention. You have to spend a great deal of time waiting for them to finish typing or repeating yourself. This is not a fair interview process because you also don't know if your answers are being transcribed correctly. Its important for the interviewer to write what you say correctly because they later review your answers with the rest of their engineering team. You would think it would be much more efficient for them and you to have the engineering team there on the phone call -- no typing required, you get their full attention, and the interviewer spends half the amount of time reviewing answers. It's not smart. It's also important to note that they are probably throwing away great talent due to this inefficiency (positions remain open for up to a year!).
