They tried to ask questions that they consider as "Google like Interview questions". For me it is annoying questions for primary schools like: How to measure 9 L if you have 7 and 5 L bottles? A lot of white boding. Basic theoretical questions about asp.net. They have "open space". No cubicles. For me it is an awful work conditions.

The Application Development Manager reached out to me via LinkedIn. The next day I had a phone interview with him. This interview didn't contain technical questions and was primarily confirming the information I had on my LinkedIn profile such as education background, job history, and so on. He also asked what I was looking for in a future job. We chatted for about 45 minutes, if I recall correctly. Following this, I was given a quick code challenge consisting of HTML and CSS only. This challenge was taking an image and converting it to HTML/CSS. It wasn't a full website PSD, just a fragment of a site containing a variety of elements. The day after returning the code challenge, I was invited in for a panel interview. When I arrived, I was first given a short tour of their office. I actually met the CEO and saw his office. He was very friendly, he asked me about myself and gave his compliments to the team I would be working with if I got hired. Then I saw where the developers and designers work, as well as the kitchen area (they provide their employees free lunch daily), various conference rooms, and so on. I was impressed with the fact that they had a nice-sized room outfitted with a comfortable recliner and mini-fridge. I'm not sure but I think they called this their relaxation room, one of its purposes being to provide a place for new mothers to pump, another being to provide a spot where employees needing a break could get away. I was somewhat anxious about the panel interview, but the staff was friendly and made me feel comfortable. Within a few minutes, we were conversing easily. They started out with some personality/soft skills questions. I think the intent was to get a feel for who I am, as well as catch me off guard and get an answer that wasn't practiced or prepared. After, there was some quick Q&A about HTML, CSS, and JS. I wouldn't call these "whiteboard problems" although I was told I could use a whiteboard to work some things out if needed (I did). Although one of the interviewers did write a little bit of code on the whiteboard in order to pose a question to me, I was never asked to write code on a whiteboard. Some questions were beyond my reach, but the interviewers didn't let me stop at "I don't know" and pushed me a bit, asking how I would attempt to solve the problem. I think I got "partial points" for this for sure. They definitely seemed of the mindset of "code it teachable, personality is not" and I think one of interviewers even said this to me at one point, though I can't remember how he worded it. They made their decision about me very quickly - and by quickly, I mean I think they knew before I'd even left the building. They got back to me soon after I left the interview with a conditional verbal offer, and I received an offer letter a few days after. I don't know if this is typical, but I really enjoyed this, as there is nothing more nerve-wracking than waiting weeks without hearing anything. All in all, I think this was the most pleasant interview process I've ever had. I think I would feel this way even if I had not received an offer. My advice to future interviewees would be to relax and have a sense of humor about things. Be willing to admit you don't know something, but also be willing to give it your best attempt and demonstrate that you can think through a problem even if you don't know the right answer. Take an interest in their product, and ask them questions about their work.
