This was by far the worst interview process I've ever been a part of. The HR team should be ashamed of how they treat candidates. If their HR team is any indication of how the company operates, then this is an ignorant, slow, sloppy place run by children.
Not only was the process terrible, but the people I interviewed with were also terribly rude and had a lot of ego. This is surprising since they make a big show in their core values talking about how there's "no ego".
They place a lot of emphasis on silly things like free lunches, their constantly in demolition mode office space (which smells rancid, by the way), and doing things the "Toast" way versus building a quality technical product.
Many of the people I met with weren't as savvy as I would expect. I mentioned that the management team I met with was rude, and I cannot find a more accurate word. They're clearly drinking their own Kool-Aid and have no consideration for people.
Constantly interrupting candidates after asking them a question is no way to conduct an interview. I'm sorry, but all the free bread and company parties in the world are not enough to work at this place.
Questions about scalability.
