The interview process was standard, not too long, and felt a bit quick. The people were friendly and open, and it seems like a good culture. There were three meetings and one call to check interest.

Behavioral Technical Coding
I applied online for the internship in June 2013 and heard back pretty quickly, within a week. The interview process was pretty simple. First, an HR person did a phone screen, then an Engineer from the team called me for another phone screen. A few days after that, they invited me to their main office in Campbell for an on-site interview. I ended up having 5 interviews there. The first one was with the Director of Product, which was mainly about whether I'd fit in with the company, and it was about 15 minutes. Then, I had two technical interviews, each about 30-45 minutes long. They asked some questions about recursion, linked lists, and using for-loops with modulus. The fourth interview was during lunch with an engineer, and it was a good time to ask my own questions and get some real talk about the job. The last meeting was with the Mobile Team Lead, and there weren't any technical questions during that one. Later that same day, they called me to offer me the position. Overall, it was a good experience.

It was a thorough interview process. I started with two 30-minute phone calls, one with recruiting and another with the hiring manager. Soon after, I went onsite for a half-day where I met with 6 people. They were in sales, customer success, and customer support roles, and their levels ranged from manager to director. I heard the CEO usually meets with candidates, but he was away that day. He did join my onboarding though, which was nice.
