I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Yuzu (Mountain View, CA)
Interview
Interview process is pretty straight forward. Recruiter was very prompt in responding and very accommodative with my schedule. First step - initial phone screen and once cleared you would be called in for in person interview.
The people I interviewed with were really nice and friendly. The interview went well, was asked about several basic algorithm stuff (Whiteboard). We also talked about my past experience, why I'm interested in the role, and any questions that I had. Had two offers, but ended up accepting Yuzu for the work they do!
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yuzu in Apr 2014
Interview
Four Rounds of Technical interviews and one with the HR. The first round was the screening Interview with the Hiring Manager and lasted about an hour. It was mix of technical, problem solving and questions based on my projects. The Manager was very nice in describing the role, his current team and answering my questions. The HR was very nice in responding to all my emails quickly and was were open the whole interview process. 2 weeks after I heard from the HR about the next round of interviews. She scheduled 4 back to back 30 min inteviews. one of them was with the HR and other three were technical interviews.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Yuzu in Oct 2014
Interview
Their recruiters are friendly and professional, but their technical team members were arrogant, condescending and unprofessional. The guy who interviewed me on the phone asked me general questions about software development and then completely tuned out while I spoke (I could hear him chewing food and talking to someone else on the other side of the line). There wasn't any feedback or acknowledgement of what I talked about. This is all after rescheduling the call at the last second and not returning emails, I honestly have no clue why I pursued it for so long. To anyone reading, I would think twice before doing so too.
