My understanding is when they fly you out, you're pretty much a shoe-in and now they're letting their devs have a shot at trying to interview, while getting a feel how you work with others. i.e. are you sane or will you eat on of our disposable dev's face?



Its generally the opposite, the phone interviews are the sanity check.


"sanity check" in this context is a bit different than in software.


This was not my experience. I did not get an offer after being flown out and spending the day interviewing. I did not do well in the whiteboard coding, but I found the people I interacted with to generally be interested and smart.
