Web Developer Interview Experience - Boston, Massachusetts
Process
Experience with only the first phase of the interview:
The general process was facilitated impersonally through their application site. A non-technical interviewer contacted me.
He asked vague, high-level technical questions, of which he had very limited knowledge. He talked about some current projects, but I'm not sure he understood the majority of what I said. At the end, I was (very insistently) asked my current salary, which I thought was strange. After some hesitation, I did provide it.
A generic rejection message appeared the following week.

Awesome place to work if you love music.Cons: It definitely feels like they're not sure where to go next. They've got a great music streaming app, but it's hard to see what the next steps are, and that "fog" can be felt in the day-to-day development cycle sometimes.
