Overall it was an overwhelmingly positive interview experience. It took 2 weeks from the initial recruiter screen to the final decision. The recruiter was very friendly and helpful. She expedited the process when she knew I had a job offer in hand. Then there were 4 rounds of interview with the hiring manager, a staff engineer, the skip-level manager and another staff engineer, respectively. In each round, the first half a hour was about past experience and soft skills while the second half was for system design and coding. I got to choose the programming language in the coding exercises. The interviewers were very attentive to my questions and thought process. They collaborated with me in a pair programming manner. I could feel that working with them in a real world situation would be a great pleasure. Unfortunately, in the last round I had my moments of brain freeze. I knew at the time that I botched that round which might ruin this whole opportunity. In the end, it turned out my hunch was correct. However, what was great was that the recruiter called me and shared with me the feedback from the interviews. This is super rare these days. In all, the company treated me, a mere interviewee, with respect and dignity. I can definitely translate that into how well they treat their customers/clients. My hats off for Appfolio!!! Hope one day our paths will cross again.
