I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at SurveyMonkey
Interview
Recruiter called me and set up phone interview. For the first time they called 10 minutes ahead and apologized that they don't have time now, so we moved it to another date. For second time they called an hour after the scheduled time, apologized for "long meetings" and rescheduled interview for yet another date. For the third time they didn't call at all. Hard to assess the interview questions, but the process definitely needs fix.

Question 1
Is it okey to reschedule the interview to yet another date?
I had a twenty minute video call with a member of HR/Recruitment about the position. The call was pleasant, and my queries were answered until I queried the pay scale of the position. I would not be told.
I was informed that the next step, should I wish to continue with the process, would be a thirty minute meeting with one of the leads who would administer a code logic exam. Then I would have four individual interviews with different engineers. The final interview was, I believe, with the head of HR. Only then, should I have been deemed a fit for the position, would I be informed of a salary figure.
I declined the offer to proceed.
From experience, I've learned to not dedicate several hours of my time to an interview process when the salary is unknown; It's always proven to end with a disappointing reveal.

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at SurveyMonkey in Sept 2020
Interview
The process was really nice and methodical. First had a phone interview with recruiter and then had a pair programming session with a staff engineer. The questions were easy but I got stuck in the coding part.
