Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Process
Some good questions.
Three questions were repeated in different forms by different interviewers. Quite strange. They do not seem to care about asking different questions. Is this corporate culture?
The practical coding task was for 2 hours, but I would say its size doesn't fit that time. The whole day onsite interview provided absolutely no feedback.
