The whole interviewing process took nearly a month. The longest I've ever done. There was a total of 5 interviews plus an automated cognitive-assessment. The latter was pretty much a standard personality assessment and an IQ test. I felt pretty poorly during the IQ test. The test was time-capped, rewarding a skill of skipping a question when you can't come up quickly with an answer for it. That's pretty much the exact opposite of what I've conditioned myself with during years and years of programming - not to easily give up on a problem. First there was a short chat with the recruiter. Next two technical interviews. First one involved some trivial coding exercises. The other one had more of a system-design level questions. Finally there were two interviews with lead developers/team leaders. These were the nicest parts of the whole process as finally I was no more accused of possibly not being able to write code. By the end I had reached a conclusion that this position is not really the one I'm looking for. I expressed this sentiment during the final interview, and the guy proposed he might have a more desirable job for me in one of the other teams in the company. However, a week later the recruiter contacted me and told that they have revised their recruiting strategy and don't really have job for me.
