Process

First was a phone interview with two people from the team, one the lead and another senior position. This section was about 30-40 minutes long, basic programming, personality questions nothing to extreme for a junior position.

After this there was an update phone call from HR asking about salary and benefits and talking about the next stage. Next was a take home assessment, which has a basic version and advanced program to write, and do an onsite about the solution (final stage). The solution was basically the same but the advanced version had more work to do.

The onsite was done with three people two from the phone call and one additional person. At the beginning of the interview two of the people interviewing were talking to each other when I was answering question for the other interviewer. It was hard to answer when someone is basically interrupting the interview by talking over you. After this part was done the two talking at the start began the section on questioning my solution, and a bunch of programming questions were also asked.

They went over time in their section to the point that I didn't have time to ask any questions really and the interviewer, who at the start that was asking question while the other two talked to each other, had to get them to stop so I could get at least one or two before someone kicked us out of the meeting room for their own work.

About two weeks later I hear final word that I didn't get the job but that there was no negative feedback just they went with someone else.
