I had interviews with seven different people all day, requiring me to take a day off. They asked questions by the book, covering technical topics and involving many whiteboard exercises.

I didn't get the job and am glad they passed on me. They offer 'perks' in exchange for a low salary. It's so minuscule ($20k less than my current salary) that I'm not sure how they think they can get away with paying below market.

Luckily, I received another offer from a major company. I won't get a free lunch, but I will earn $25k more than I'm making now. Pick your battles, I guess.

There were lots of technical questions, some of which were repeated during the 7-hour interview.
