I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Tapingo (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
Wow. Unbelievably elementary process. Words of wisdom - do not challenge their business model in the interview. They don't want to be challenged. Instead, they want to cling to old ways of doing things. Very immature process as they completely ignored any outreach after not notifying me what the decision was after the interview. Sent multiple follow-up requests, still no response. I guess this is what happens when a startup gets arrogant in its ways. Sign of a failing startup. Wouldn't accept an offer if it was given. These are not people anyone should want to work with. Business model will most likely fail in the end as it won't be able to adapt.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tapingo (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2015
Interview
Phone screen with one of people on team (30 minutes), Onsite (4 people). Really unprofessional onsite, they have dogs walking around during the interview room. It's cool that it's a dog friendly workplace, but it's a little distracting for the interviewer. No real regard if ppl have allergies (which I do) or might be shy/apprehensive around dogs (which I'm not), but at the very least they should have the courtesy to ask. Also, one of the interviewers (CEO) was eating cereal during the interview. I guess it's cool that it's casual, but c'mon..this is an interview! It's a bit rude/distracting to hear munching and slurping during an interview. They told me it would last 2 hours, but then kept adding more people for the interview and went over by an hour. I had another meeting that I ended up being late to because they kept adding people...finally I had to tell them that I was already late for a meeting so I had to cut it off. Overall the company seems a bit disorganized and doesn't really care to value the candidates very much. While some people I spoke with were very nice, the CEO and other people I spoke with had this sense of arrogance that you get in some startups when they've had modest/early success. Also, I hate when people throw around words like "disrupt" for small trivial changes like this. It's a good service and makes lives a little simpler for students. There are no competitive moats, no technology differentiation, no advantages to being first to market, and there is no business/industry that is being displaced or "disrupted."
