I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at NETGEAR (San Jose, CA) in Aug 2019
Interview
Their interview process was an unorganized set of meetings and most had no agenda. Meetings kept getting added on to the process until finally they asked me to do a design challenge. I was interested in the company and thought I had a solid chance but in the end it felt like they just wanted to see if I could produce a viable idea for them for free in the interview process.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at NETGEAR (San Jose, CA) in Jul 2018
Interview
3 rounds of interviews...plus a design challenge...for a leadership position. That should tell you all you need to know.
I met a lot of the team and spent a lot of my time interviewing and creating a presentation for the design challenge. Then they ghosted me.
I'm fine not getting any job...but after 3 interviews and a design challenge, I'm super happy I didn't get this role because working for someone who thinks it is OK to ghost someone at that stage of the process would almost certainly have been a terrible experience.
