Interview
Had one interview over the phone and another in person. They were quick in responding. They didn't get into salary until very late in the process. Asked some technical questions but overall was fairly laid back.

Interview
Went through four rounds of interviews just to be told they were moving in a different direction. Really disheartening and disappointing to spend so much time prepping and taking time of work for that many interviews to be told no.
