I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Five9 (San Ramon, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
Recruiter, phone interview with Director and SE. If you got past this part of the interview question they would bring you in to meet with a Vice President and Sales Director, as well as other decision - makers in the sales process.
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Five9 (Portugal)
Interview
Avoid this company at all costs!
The interview process was an absolute nightmare, dragging on for around five months (!) and involving 9 to 10 rounds of interviews. Most were straightforward technical assessments, but the sheer number of steps and the excruciatingly long waits for feedback between each stage made the process feel endless.
By the final interview, I was already frustrated with their lack of respect for candidates' time, which affected my motivation. To make matters worse, the interviewer came across as arrogant, asking outdated and irrelevant questions that seemed better suited to 15 years ago than to the present day.
Save yourself the hassle and look elsewhere. Your time and effort deserve far better than this!

Question 1
Java synchronized methods. More words to match minimum
Our standard interview process in Portugal is much shorter than you describe, so we are surprised to hear of your experience, but thank you for sharing it nonetheless.
Interview through 4 members of the team including hiring manager. More of a discussion than a grilling of tech knowledge. They were more interested in fit with team rather than specific tech background.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Five9 in Jul 2024
Interview
The interview process was composed of 4 different interviews: HR, Manager, Coding, and System Design.
The experience was actually one of the most pleasant interviewing processes I've had, everyone was super nice and professional while trying to assess my skills and understanding what it would be like to have me as a coworker.
