I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pocket Gems (San Jose, CA)
Interview
I got two interviews from pocket gems totally for the same position. One got about three month ago and second got recently. My advice for candidates is the DO NOT WASTE TIME FOR THIS COMPANY.
Totally, the two interview are not too hard. I got them from recruiter. Each interview, I got two round phone interview. After that, I got thank you letter and "not move forward email". All the four round interview, the interviewers were satisfied with me and my answers were also correct. Not just me, my friend also got same situation with me.
Even if pocket gems offer another around interview to me, I would never take it. It is just a waste of time.
