I won't divulge the custom questions they had because of an NDA. But I will divulge the interview questions that are carbon copy menial tasks. Of the first three phone/live-coding interviews, I was asked to do a merge sort. I guess I understand that they want to make sure I can code. But there's got to be a better problem. The many in-person interviews were (1) 1.5 hour coding-by-myself on a laptop, (2) describe a problem you worked on in detail, (3) "NLP" interview that didn't focus on NLP, instead they focused on AB testing (which is fine), (4) Lunch interview, (5) culture fit interview, (6) follow up/close/discussion interview. To be honest, I don't remember much near the end. I think I went directly home after and slept for 12 hours.
