I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Sprout Social in Apr 2016
Interview
My interview experience with Sprout Social was limited to the initial technical screen, done over video on Google Hangouts. After a brief rundown of my recent experience for about five minutes, we dived into a coding exercise in a collaborative code editor. I feel that I did rather well, but was not selected to go through to further interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to come up with a way to determine if two arrays have the same elements, regardless of the sorting order of each. After giving a naive solution, I was asked to improve the runtime and to also think about how to solve the problem for very large array sizes, potentially larger than system memory.

Interview
Great interview process, a bit long with 5 interviews and 2 coding interviews, but questions weren't too bad, and everyone seemed nice and professional. The two coding interviews were with 2/3 other devs and were whiteboarding problems and pseudocoding. I was also given a courtesy email when I wasn't chosen.

Interview
Went through a technical round with a senior engineer. The questions they asked me were fair, though it probably wasn’t my best performance. That being said, the main thing that irked me was the overall demeanor of the interviewer. They complained about having too many meetings, they mentioned that most of their work consists of putting out fires instead of working on new development, and they just seemed like they really didn’t want to be there. It makes me wonder what’s going on at Sprout if their interviewers can’t even pretend to not hate either their job and/or interviewing a candidate for 1 hour. Also, during the technical interview, I feel like I barely had time to think of my answer before they gave up on me and just gave me the answer and moved on. So I felt rushed.

Interview
Initial recruiter screen went well from my perspective, but apparently not from the company's as I was not moved on to the technical round. Normally not a big deal but the recruiter originally reached out to me so not sure what could have happened.
