BackOps interview questions

Submitted a work sample, had a phone interview, called in for a three hour interview (four sequential interviews). Interview process was all over the place. I had four interviews that covered the same basic "first interview" stuff, which struck me as strange. Previously, when I've interviewed with multiple people, each interview has covered different ground. Tensions in the work place were pretty evident, and they didn't seem to trust their own hiring process. They told me they interviewed based on a blind scoring (by remote employees) of the work sample, but half the interviewers seemed fairly aghast that such a process turned up a candidate without the "right" credentials. The job was advertised as being an open position, looking for someone to train (no specific background in the industry required, desired skill sets listed instead), but there were several references over the course of the interview to the expectation of an Ivy League degree, and one person even referred to a Stanford degree as "non-traditional". The GM's interview style was...quite unusual, but he was fairly straight forward. Two of the interviewers were so disinterested that it was pretty clear they viewed interviewing me as a waste of their time...which of course made the whole interview a waste of my time. Taking a day off work and commuting into downtown San Francisco is fine if there's a reasonable chance at job, but I'd have rather not gone in at all since it was apparently fait accompli.

It took 3 weeks to hear from Backops after submitting my work sample and resume. The interviewer was 25 minutes late to the conference call interview. She started out by describing the company and how they operate. Thee interview was very informal.
