The process was very short and professional. All the interviewers were nice and willing to listen. The recruiter was also very responsive and helpful. He kept me informed throughout the process. I heard back pretty quickly after the interview.

Interview
Applied online, got an interview.
Phone interview auestion on k'th largest element in an array. Solved it in a few different ways. The interviewer was looking for a specific answer (partitioning) and didn't know his big O. I explained to him that bceause my solution using heaps was asymptotically superior cuz it's O(nlogn) but he was under the impression that partitioning has a worst case complexity of O(n) (it's O(n^2). He probably rote learned the solution on some website seemed like he was referring to it during the interview.
I asked the interviewer a few questions on their business model and got vague, generic answers, which was another put off.
Yet another thing to note is that the interviewer was sitting in a public area. Not that it's a big deal but was I kinda annoyed while he was talking with people moving about him. Expect the interview to be taken with some decorum. Overall the quality of the interview didn't indicate a company worth working for. I'd rather not work with such people. I'm really glad didn't move ahead.
