Candidatei-me online. Fui entrevistado pela StumbleUpon em jan. de 2015
Entrevista
An initial phone call with the HR to fix the date and time, followed by an hour telephonic interview. There was no coding challenge. The interviewer asked questions based on the resume. I was asked questions on statistics, probability, data mining, some graph theory. Most of the questions were from a design perspective and scalability to big data. The interview went for more than the allocated time and the interviewer still was happy to answer any questions about work at StumbleUpon. I got a call back with my interview feedback in a couple of weeks and got my offer letter another week after that.

Phone screen was a fun code/pseudo code-over-the-phone question. Went for about 45 mins. Then there was an onsite interview. About 5 engineering interviews and 2 less tech interviews. Lunch included. The office is pretty nice.

Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 3 meses. Fui entrevistado pela StumbleUpon em jul. de 2014
Entrevista
Initially contacted by recruiter through LinkedIn, wanted me to come right in for a 5 hour in-person interview. I requested a phone interview first, just to determine the interest/qualifications for both myself and company before committing to an entire day together. Phone interview was with another mobile engineer, asked basic information about my job history and knowledge/experience in mobile development. Very friendly and pleasant to talk to.
Since phone call went good, got a call from the recruiter to setup an in person interview the next day for the following week.
In office interview consisted of meeting 5 different people for about an hour each. 2 of them were with other engineers and required on-computer technical code challenges, other 3 were management level and more personal history, self-reflection, etc.
Code challenges were pretty straightforward and easy enough with my experience, nothing too complex. Just tested basic UI setup with dev enviornments, regular expressions, delegate methods, etc.
A week later received a request to complete an at-home code challenge to build a small functioning app that did common things like:
Login a user validating their email
Use facebook to login a user
Submit data to a server
Read data from a server
Use JSON
Multi-threading (asynchrousity, non-blocking UI, etc.)
They were pleased with my technical prowess and made an offer within a week.
