Responded to online ad including specific Excel based logic type questions, e.g. "how would you do X in Excel?" Had high expectations and very strong desire to be a part of Build. Researched company thoroughly and read Chris Friedland's blog. Super pumped. Got phone screening call from recruiter and invite to come in. Interview was made up of panel of 6 (all with laptops open). Was asked theoretical situational questions, what I would do with data, what kind of formula I would use in Excel, etc. I felt completely at home. Interview went well. I then get a call the next morning with an offer. $12/hour. I was jaw-dropped. I exchange words with the HR pawn that says she has no authority to negotiate at all and then tries to shame me about what would I expect etc. I sank in my chair in disappointment and declined the offer. To this day I compulsively look at their job boards. Funny, this job is back open I see again.

Intense, but fun. You interview with several managers, and often interview with executives. They are only looking for the correct fit. There is a phone screen, then an interview with management within your department, then an interview with high level managers. The interviews were fun, but they asked direct and challenging questions. All in all a very enjoyable hiring experience.
