Technical Coding Behavioral
So I applied for a dev job in Prague. First, I had a Skype call with HR. Then, over two weeks, I had two technical screenings on Skype. After they said I did well, Concur set up the on-site interviews. In Prague, I had four separate 1:1 interviews that took about three hours. About half that time was them telling me about the company, their products, and the job, and the other half was actual technical interviewing. After the on-site interviews, I had one more Skype interview with the hiring manager, which was not technical. A really helpful HR person was with me the whole way, giving me feedback and setting up all the interviews. It all took a bit over a month until they made an offer.

Behavioral Coding System Design
I applied online and heard back from HR about a week later. They sent an email asking some standard HR questions. Since I wasn't in the US, all four rounds were done over Skype. The first round was with the Hiring Manager, covering career stuff and one Java coding problem. A few days later, they scheduled the rest. Round 2 was with a Senior Developer from the team, focusing on system design and also involved coding. Round 3 was another Java coding question, more of a discussion about a problem and how to tackle it in Java. Round 4 was with a Director, who mostly talked about the company and its perks, not really an interview. I got an offer within a week.

Coding
The interview process seemed geared towards recent graduates, which felt discriminatory. I think it's unfair to web programmers with extensive experience because the console application programming test uses a syntax and methods that are completely different from what they're used to. Candidates are already stressed from the interview and then have to complete a timed, error-free test. This kind of test feels out of place for those who graduated 10-15 years ago and have been hired based on their experience. It definitely made me nervous.
