I applied online. I interviewed at Kohl's (Milpitas, CA) in Jan 2017
Interview
First round was telephonic, a junior developer started asking questions pretending to be lead architect, After that it was face to face, where not so good developers took interview. Final round was with Director, he behaved as though he is hiring slaves.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Kohl's
Interview
1. Short HR interview 2. 60-90 minute technical interview During technical was asked medium leetcode questions by 1 team member and easy by another. If I wanted to do leetcode i wouldn't interview with Kohl's and would just study for FANNG. I didn't study ahead of time since this was kohl's so of course failed the 1 question.
Hacker rack First round is ford of a lot more money and I don’t know how much it will be but it will be worth it to me to get Second round is good Manger round is good Hr round is good
Overall the interview process seemed unrefined and experimental in nature. A good 1/3 of one session was eaten up trying to get remote collaboration tools working. Interviewers dropped out before sessions were over. In the last session, they initially mistook me for a different candidate. I guess I failed to impress because I got a curt rejection email with no reason offered, but by that point I wasn't excited about it either.
