I applied through a recruiter. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Hotwire (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2018
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn. After putting me through the entire process which included 2 on-sites and a homework exercise + presentation, the hiring manager decided to close the role after "re-evaluation" of needs. Complete waste of candidates' time! A few weeks later, the role was re-opened under a different hiring manager. Recruiter said he'd put my profile in front of the hiring manager for review, and then subsequently ghosted me. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Hotwire (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2014
Interview
First there was a phone screen. Then I was invited for an in person interview. I interviewed with five different people the whole process took approximately four hours. Lunch was provided. The whole process was very pleasant and some of the interviews genuinely enjoyable.
