• Phone screen with recruiter who surprised me by asking technical questions.
• Two phone screens and a panel interview, with a 15-minute candidate presentation.
• Toughest interview I've faced, and it was a positive learning experience for sure. The team lacks standards.

The panel was extremely smug and cocky (mocking answers, texting on the phone while interviewing, etc.). My interview started 5 minutes late, which cut my candidate presentation short by 5 minutes. I only had 10 minutes to present and was cut off – they were the ones who started late! I was 5 minutes early. Have some etiquette, for Pete's sake.

Too many technical rounds. And when I say too many, I mean too many. I don't think their intention was to gauge your thinking methodology, but to put you on the spot. The more questions you answer correctly, the more they'll dig in.
