Interview
I applied for the job through someone I knew at the company (inside referral). I had an initial phone screen interview with my would-be boss, who was extremely nice and friendly. He asked me about my college experience and about what I was looking for in terms of jobs (including why I wanted to work in San Francisco). My second phone interview was a little longer but pretty similar.

Got interview call for the engineering position. Met 5 folks. The first person i met didn't seem too technical and I felt just prepared to take the interview. I had a feeling that the person was probably forced to take interview and was kind of agitated with me. After a certain point i just stopped bothering as that person just wanted to hear what was read for conducting the interview instead of thinking logically what the problem is and why the solution would work and instead gave me vague answers on why their solution is the only solution, the rest of the 3 people I met were really smart and knew what they were talking about, they did ask good questions on algorithms, scalability, design patterns. At the end met the recruiter. Nothing bad about the interview process, just my experience.
