I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at NetSuite (Austin, TX) in Mar 2015
Interview
First of all, Pavel from NetSutie failed to send me the test at 8PM as agreed. He blamed on his Outlook broke down during his bedtime. So I took the test the next morning and finished in 55 minutes. After I submitted my answers, Pavel followed up with a phone call asking general HR questions such as why did I leave my last company and what kind of work interest me.
A couple hours later, Pavel got back to me and asked can I explain why I left my last company "in more detail" because the hiring manager asked. I was like didn't we already talk about this?! But anyways, I'll say it again...
Next day Pavel replied back and said the hiring manager found my answers "not meeting his technical expectations". Then he said he hope that it will not ruin my impressions of NetSuite so we can refresh our communication in the future. He then further asked for my feedback. I asked Pavel to share the hiring manager's feedback on my answers. What are particularly bad or unsatisfactory about them? I take pride in my profession and am open to constructive criticism. Otherwise I can't help to think his decision was biased because he did make you ask me twice about why I left my last job and explain "in more detail".
Pavel never reply back.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1 Given a sorted array of integers, write a method to remove the duplicates. Do not use any classes from the java.util package, or the equivalent library for your language.
2. Given a non-negative real number a, its square root is a number x, such that x * x = a. One way to compute a square root is via successive approximation, where one estimate yields a better estimate.
3. SQL query questions.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at NetSuite (Kitchener, ON) in Jun 2020
Interview
I interviewed at Netsuite Kitchener where they clearly mentioned that the position had to do more of bug fixing and very little development.
It was a long 8 round process(in detail below) with a mix of technical and conversational rounds of interviews.
I applied through the portal in May 2020 and the recruiter contacted me the following week.
1. Recruiter Screening
2. Hiring Manager (30 min)
3. Take away home exercise (3 hours)
4. Technical round + puzzle +SQL (1 hour)
5. Coding exercise using IDE of your choice (1 hour)
6. Coding exercise using IDE of your choice (1 hour)
7. Technical questions +Puzzle + SQL + Low-Level system design (1 hour)
8. Conversation with QA manager (30 mins)
After this hectic process, you will have to follow up with the recruiter frequently and they will take weeks while they finish all the interviews. They would ask you to wait and say you are shortlisted but in the end, give you some random reason and send you rejection(that too after more follow-ups).

I did the process between May and July of 2019
The process consisted of:
1 - Talk with Recruiter by phone
2 - Social interview with one of the Developers
3 - Technical challenge at the office - General tech questions, code challenge
4 - Interview with Managers
In general the experience was positive, the Recruiter (Ondrej) was very respectful and always concerned with giving the most information and details as possible, the same can be said about the Developers and Managers all of them respectful and kind, that made the interviews very smooth and without pressure, and really open for questions.
The office is really cool and modern with a lot of space.
Unfortunately, for personal reasons, I declined the offer but definitely a good place to work.
