I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Xcalar in Mar 2019
Interview
I applied online for the position and was contacted by the recruiter. The entire process took around 1.5 months.
The interview involved one telephonic call with the manager and subsequently two 2 hour calls with the members of the team.
The questions/discussion were around system design, although it did involve some fair amount of coding as well. Overall I enjoyed the interview process.

Interview
Questions from Os and networking. Interviewer was the support lead forming a new team. Not sure if he was super intelligent or just asked random questions. Either ways, not a practical leader and was anxious throughout the interview process.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Xcalar in Jul 2018
Interview
After applying on the website, I got a online assessment and a hr reach out to me after I submitted it. The first round is talking with the hiring manager about the company background and culture. The second round is one-hour technical screen with a engineer. Since I'm not a local at BayArea, the third and forth round are two-hour technical screens respectively, in each round, finish 1-2 technical questions with a engineer per hour.
The whole process is very positive, as the interviewers would give me instructions if I struggled. It's more like pair coding with the interviewers, instead of solving difficulties by myself. The technical questions are related to string parse, binary tree, dfs/bfs, you would be okay if you can solve medium-difficult questions on Hackerrank/Leetcode. The hr is also responsive, that I got updates right after my interview.
