5+ stage interview, very little transparency, zero feedback. I get that they are probably interviewing a lot of candidates, but as a large company there is no excuse for not being capable of having decent feedback. Clearly, they do not care about the people they interview and you are just a number on someone's spreadsheet
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you respond if you saw a co-worker submitting work that does not meet team programming standards?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Medbridge
Interview
Phone screen talking about your experience and what they're all about. The recruiter seemed like they were just reading a script the whole time. Asked to solve a problem (form of even/odd) over the phone. In-person interview started with someone who wasn't even part of the team the position was for (I guess he was a fill-in) who went over my experience and had a basic design (generalized) scenario. Next person went straight into whiteboard with your typical college-type algorithm question that tells them nothing about your skill. I was prepared for it and knew the question already though so I just had to go through it with him. Overall it went fine and I was told about what the next steps were for Round 3 (take-home project and then code review) and that they would contact me. A week goes by and I don't hear anything from them, so I sent them a followup and was told that the first guy who wasn't part of the team talked to the guy who was actually supposed to be there and they decided to pass on me. Colossal waste of time but that's how it goes with these things.

Question 1
Count the number of islands in a matrix (all eight adjacent sides of a coordinate).
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Medbridge (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2016
Interview
After a telephone screening, I met with 3 individuals, Dev Mgr, CTO and a Developer. This is a very young organization and the type of interview process you would expect from people that hadn't conducted many interviews in the course of their career. For the most part, it was split between the mid 20 y/o CTO and the developer. In an interview, there's a sign something's wrong when they do all the talking. I experienced this with the CTO and found it difficult to circle statements back to my experience and relate them to their triumphs. The technical interview was pretty routine and all the questions were based on recursion. None of the questions were related to how one-thinks, but rather, they were looking for the answers from a college CS textbook. So, dust off your old Algorithms book. In addition, read the reviews and you will see the owners and current employee thoughts on the company. Think about their statements and take them to heart.

Question 1
Q: Given unlimited buckets that hold 12, 8 and 4 items. Write an algorithm that distributes X items into the least amount of buckets. NOTE: There are unlimited buckets, so you can use the same size multiple times.
Q: Given a Morse coded message, where delays between words are lost. Find all the combinations of letter values that could be represented by the message.
