Entrevista
There were a couple phone screenings with the recruiter and then the hiring manager who went out of his way to say he did not have a technical background. I should have seen this as a red flag.

One of the backend engineers mentioned an arbitrary website, he knew I was not familiar with, and then asked, as he hands me a whiteboard marker, 'how would you redesign it'?

Entrevista
First off, I was really interested with the job description and applied online with my resume. The recruiter got back to me asking about what times are good to talk and I mentioned the next day would be fine. Later I did not hear from the recruiter for close to 2 weeks (looks like he quit). I sent couple of followup email and no response yet (I thought the position was filled). Then another recruiter responds telling that the previous recruiter quit few days ago and that she would take it from here.
Had a brief conversation with the recruiter the next day and she setup a phone interview with the hiring manager. Hiring manager was to call me at 3 and never received a call until 3:30 (he did apologize for calling late). Basic Object Oriented questions and looks like it went well and they arranged an in-person interview in few days. Asked me what I would have for lunch from Jimmy John's menu.
Met the recruiter and she started by the tour of the workplace. I was to meet couple of senior engineers, managers and the VP. Everyone seemed reasonable except for one who didnt seem he was interested at all. Not sure if he understood my responses at all, he was turning them down as wrong answers. At one point after the interview he mentioned that he would sit and check his email until the next person arrives. Surprisingly, the interview was over after a chat with VP and no sign of lunch (I should have planned better). Nobody had a clue that there was supposed to be lunch. I felt a little disorganized at this point. Also, the recruiter never got back to me about the outcome. In about 2 weeks I emailed and they said they already hired someone!

Entrevista
I did a phone screen with an HR screener, then a technical phone screen with the hiring manager, then an in-person interview with the hiring manager and 3 others (managers and above).
The in-person interviews were very heavy on Java knowledge and state machines. Interviewers covered a good range of topics (coding up to system design) but did not get a chance to meet any future peers, only managers and up. Most interviewers were kind and informative and enthusiastic, but one was extremely distracted checking their email.
