Process
Pathetic. Very old-school interviewers. They have no idea about modern ways of programming and design. If you are young and need to learn the latest tech stuff, then stay away from this company.
Interviewers spent too much time talking about their company, which resulted in having little time for the actual interview. Despite that, I think I did pretty well in the design and coding interview.
