I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Happen Bank (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2015
Interview
I received message on LinkedIn from internal LC recruter about open position and applied. I had 30 mins phone screen with HR within a week, followed by technical phone screen for 45 mins or so a week later. Onsite interview took around 4-5 hrs with 5-6 different people. Each technical session was 45 mins (Core Java, Design, Frameworks, Algorithms), and they provided me with lunch. In overall it was good experience and I accepted the offer.

Interview
I interviewed in july-18. I would say this was the easiest interview of my life as it had zero challenging questions. I think interviewer had no java coding experience as all she asked me was
how to compile java file, what is static, final etc. She went on for 45 mins with similar theory questions and i got irritated by the end of it.
I was hoping for some data structures/algorithms questions to be part of interview but the level of this interview was very disappointing. Considering the knowledge of lead engineers working here, it would be a waste of my career to join this company.
