I look back on the interview process because it tells you a lot about the company. Numbers don't tell you much. It's all about how good or bad you've been treated. So I look at:
- the kind of questions they asked, was it mostly stupid algorithm stuff? Useless 15 minutes HR multiple choice questions?
- the interviewers. Were they involved during the interview or were they thinking about their day ahead? Were they jerks, making you feel like crap? Did they asked anything else than work related questions such as "how is your day going?", "what did you do this weekend?". etc.
- Last but not least, I look at HR, how transparent and genuine were they during the process? Very often, when it comes to arguing about salary, feedback, etc, they often show that they lie and don't even make sense. Like "you were the last person we've interviewer" when one of the interviewer told you - you were the first candidate in the process!. Things like that...
I've been through a LOT of interviews. The process is a snapshot of the company. Most of the companies fail at it. More often than candidates actually.
