I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Crunchtime (Boston, MA) in May 2013
Interview
I entered the building. Met with the Vice President and Director of Engineering.
Had a face to face interview. Had another face to face interview. Took a coding test.
Had another face to face interview. Then I met with the Chief Executive Officer. He meets every candidate. He was very pompous. Left the building.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Crunchtime in Jun 2025
Interview
8 interviews, of 1 hour each one, a lot of effort put, and a lot of time invested to just receive a rejection. These people think that have free time just to do their interviews and be rejected, that should be ilegal, crazy world we live in

Behavorial questions (they think they are amazon)
Extremely unprofessional recruiting team. I had a recruiter screening scheduled. Recruiter didn't show up or send a notice that they needed to reschedule. Next morning they tell me they needed to reschedule and asked if we could do it later that day. I agree. And AGAIN the recruiter doesn't show without any notice. This time they did not follow up. That's a lack of respect for candidates and a waste of their time. Stay away from them.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Crunchtime (Boston, MA) in Sep 2017
Interview
It took a while because the HR system is new. But in overall it was great. A couple of screen phone interviews an in-person interview to review my background and verifying some technical skills and all went through.
