Addepar Software Engineer interviews, decoded.

You apply online, and a recruiter will contact you shortly. They really look for competitive programming folks, so make sure to put that on your resume if you have experience. The interview would be scheduled in a week (as for fall 2014). Maybe it's because they're still a startup and don't really have a large number of applicants. I had to reschedule due to technical problems and the recruiter was friendly and rescheduled my interview. They said it'll be an interactive coding problem but it turned out to be just an initial question (no coding involved) to see what kind of thinker you are. The interview took 23 minutes.

Applied online and got an interview offer just a week later. It's my first phone interview ever, so I found it hard to communicate via phone. I messed up the series on the first question, but nailed the first easy part of the second question and then gave the later part a try, not sure if it was good enough.

The whole thing took about three weeks. It started with a recruiter chat on campus, followed by an on-campus interview. A few days later, I found out I was moving on. Then I got flown out for five onsite interviews and a product demo. The interviews were tough, but not crazy so. Even though I felt like I nailed all the questions, I didn't end up getting an offer.
