The interview process started off positively for me, but turned negative. As others have described, it is a very lengthy and involved interview process (about 5 weeks from when I first applied to when I received a decision). It started with an initial phone call and take home assignment with 3 behavior based questions. I could see how important culture was based on the first conversation and really felt like my values aligned with the company's' so I didn't mind the homework. I was then asked to attend a Codesmith workshop and do an "onsite" interview, including speaking with 3 different staff members (30 min. each), as well as preparing a 15min. presentation to give to the programs team. One of the interviewers rubbed me the wrong way from the start with her tone and line of questions. By the time we got to the presentation, I could tell she was over it and just trying to rush things along. I invested a huge amount of time into the interview process and ultimately felt like the different tasks I did were not really factored in. Based on the feedback I received, it seemed the decision came down to the one interviewer (She was the only one who asked a question that even hinted at what the feedback described). It's always disappointing to not get an offer, but in this case I just felt disrespected.

As others have said, this was quite a lengthy interview process, with a phone screen, take home assignment, 2 hour long group interview, and then, presumably, one more round of interviews. The process demanded quite a bit of free labor; if this is what's expected of applicants, I can't imagine the unpaid additional work expected of the actual job.
