The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at OpenTable (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Initial call from recruiter, then technical phone screen, then in person 4-5 people over 4-5 hours. Culture is apparently changing but still a lot of negativity in the air, most of the interviewers complained about something related to their job. A tour of the office told me everything I needed to know. They emailed the next day with a decline.

Question 1
Typical corporate questions, what are you passionate about? and other college-level CS questions (implement a binary search).
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at OpenTable (Londres, Angleterre) in Jul 2014
Interview
Waste of time dealing with HR London Office - Applied direct on their site, within 1 week received an email requesting a suitable time for a telephone interview after I had missed the recruiters call.
Tried calling back but no one in the company has a direct contact number for the recruiter nor were they willing to transfer the call. i.e Faulty Towers.
Replied back to the email scheduling a suitable time for the telephone interview. No response.
After chasing my email 3 times finally I received an email confirmation regarding date/time of telephone interview from the elusive internal recruiter. No apologies for the lack of professionalism in not returning my messages - I let it pass.
So waited for call in the 2 hour window as agreed the following day.
Should have excepted it from Faulty Towers Recruitment! No call received nor any response to my calls or subsequent email messages.
Looking at other reviews this has happened before? Shambles.
What an embarrassment - time wasting amateurish company.
If they cant get the recruitment right on a minor level - Can you imagine what other aspects of Opentable are reminiscent of Faulty Towers?

Everything was pretty straightforward. You should know how to use the basic office software and applications like Microsoft and Photoshop.
