I was given a phone interview. After a couple minutes the person interviewing said I wasn't what he was looking for. Funny, I'm in the advanced stages of several other interviews for the same position...
He asked me about my experience, when I told him I didn't have much direct experience he said he was looking for people who had actively done things like starting their own websites for family and stuff like that. I guess I was too busy getting my Master's in Scientific Computing.
Then when I asked him whether he thought I wasn't experienced enough he said that no, he hires fresh grads but he was looking for people who displayed an active interest. I told him about my internship experience in the exact same field but he didn't seem to care.
Over all I got the feeling that he was arrogant and not good at communicating.

Smooth process. Coding questions were fair and everyone seemed nice. There were quite a few rounds (by the end of the onsite I got to 7+ I think).

Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
What I did for personal development outside of work.
Pretty friendly process and people seemed very personable and interested in getting to know you. The interviews seemed to go okay but wasn't given detailed feedback on why it wasn't a match ultimately.
- take-home assessment (implement a class with business-logic)
- 2 tech interviews with average questions, they were looking for exact answers, not the reasoning
- culture-fit interview - describe your negative sides / failures
In a bottom line - very slow and sometimes it seems that they don't really want to hire someone - just routinely filling the forms
