Process
1-hour coding interview. Moved on to the next round, and they flew me out to HQ in Boston.
1 hour of whiteboarding, 30 minutes of interview over stuff on my resume, then lunch for a culture-fit interview.
The first two interviews were pretty average, but the culture-fit interview was poor in my mind because I was stuck with someone who couldn't really hold a conversation if it wasn't about the Android libraries he was gushing over at the moment.
Got a call a week later saying I would hear back in a week and that they were impressed with my technical skills. Didn't hear anything for a month, so I emailed, and they responded saying it would be another week.
Got an email saying I was rejected a week later. Not a fan of this process.
