I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at MuleSoft (Atlanta, GA) in May 2017
Interview
I was contacted by the Recruiter via LinkedIn, and an initial phone screening was scheduled. After I spoke to the Recruiter, a phone interview with the Director of Customer Success was scheduled. The call went well and I was invited to a recruiter dinner event. The event was a great experience, which allowed me to learn more about the company and meet many key members of the company. I was then scheduled for two additional phone interviews with different Solutions Architects. After the second phone interview with a Solutions Architect, the communication slowed down. I was then contacted with the news that the company was going to adjust the job description to look for someone more along the lines of a Software Engineer. This was not part of the original job description. This was really disappointing, because at this point I was really excited about the position. Then a few weeks later, the Recruiter contacted me again to tell me they had once again changed their mind. They decided that they have Software Engineers, and that should not be a requirement for this position. I was invited to once again continue with the interview process, which I accepted. I was asked to create a unique MuleSoft application, using a descriptive document I was provided. It was up to me to use any available resources online to learn the MuleSoft Anypoint Studio and create the application. Once I had the application completed, I was to come in for a face-to-face interview for half of a day. I would meet with two gentleman for coffee in the morning, meet with the VP for a 45 minute one-on-one, and then present my application to three gentleman over a 30 minute period. However, during the period where I was told they were going in a different direction, I began interviewing with other companies. Before I came in for the final round of the interview process, another company made me a very good offer and I decided to go with them. Had that change in job requirements not have happened, I would have likely accepted an offer from MuleSoft. However, due to that, another opportunity came along and I went that route.

Question 1
Create a MuleSoft application using Anypoint Studio and present it to a panel of MuleSoft employees
I really appreciate you taking the time to interview with us and come to our VIP dinner, and I appreciate your feedback. While I'm thrilled you got a positive impression of the company and were able to meet so many people from the team, I do apologize for the back and forth on what the role requires. We'll work harder to get this buttoned up in future before beginning conversations with new candidates. Best of luck with your new role.

Interview
Had a phone call with the recruiter, basic questions about the background. At the end said i will be getting a link for coding challenge. 2 days later got mail from same recruiter not moving forward with me. Mulesoft is just wasting time of the candidates.

Interview
Lengthy...but I think that this actually allowed both the teams and myself to get to know each other better, though the process did take much longer than normal with this approach.

Question 1
Lots of behavioral questions...i.e. give us a time when you had to correct a superior, a time when you had to be in charge even though that was not your position, etc.
