I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Houzz in Apr 2017
Interview
Started with recruiter reaching out to me. Then setup the first phone screen where I answered both Coding questions correctly on coderpad. I made sure the code gave correct outputs for various inputs and edge cases. Interviewer was impressed but then I received email from recruiter to take a second phone screen for some reason. I didn't mind so I said I'm fine taking a second phone screen. The second phone screen interviewer first called 10 minutes late. He seemed unprepared and asked me a coding question. I suggested a bunch of solutions and he didn't seem to give feedback so I went with the most optimal solution. I was talking all the time while coding but I believe he was doing something else. In the end, he just said we are out of time and then he just blurted that I didn't provide an optimal solution and then we ended the call. I noticed he ended the interview 5 minutes early. Recruiter reached out after a week and said won't be moving forward. Such a waste of time even after you do answer their questions correctly. Avoid interviewing here if you don't want to waste your time.
