I interviewed with Lucidworks, and it was a really good experience. The process was straightforward. It started with an intro chat with HR, then a meeting with the hiring manager. After that, there were four more rounds, each half an hour long with different people. It was fast but thorough. They covered a lot without taking too much time. The people were nice too, which made it a pleasant experience. They seem to really value efficiency and professionalism.

It was a bloated and unnecessarily complex interview process. Started with an HR call, then a hiring manager call, and then two more calls after that. All calls went great and I got excellent feedback. I was told I'd move to the final step by Tuesday at the latest. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday passed with no response. After I tried to reach the hiring manager, HR sent a generic rejection email with different font types in each paragraph, saying they 'appreciate' my efforts.

Had a quick phone chat with a manager who was pretty grumpy and not very welcoming. They mostly asked questions that seemed designed to show off how much they knew about their own product. The whole experience felt negative, though I imagine other people at the company might be better interviewers. The company and its product seem great, but I don't really want to work for that manager.
