I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at A9.com in Sep 2016
Interview
The worst interview experience in my life. I developed a batch system in my current project. He asked me about it and I was explaining the system. He interrupted me and asked me that is the system real time. I said no. He said He wants real time system. If he wants real system he should build it or he should ask me what I will do to make it real time. He asks something and within 5 sec, he interrupts me then he asks the same question after 10 min.
I felt to walk away from interview room. I think that interviewer is mentally challenged. I felt that I wasted 1 day in my life.
The interviewer was attacking me and interrupting me and frustrating me. The manager was nice though.
I learned something new from every interview and I also learned something from this interview which is sometimes mentally challenged people also interview.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at A9.com (New York, NY)
Interview
Usual process. The whole process took a couple of weeks, from first email to set a time for phone screening, and doing the screening. In comparison with other companies, the recruiter was slow in responding emails and scheduling.
I applied through a recruiter and got a response very quickly. They wanted me to interview within a week and I gave them slots in which I was available. A forty five minute phone interview was set up. And it began with general introductions, coding and then I asked the interviewer some questions about the company.
