I applied online. I interviewed at Internet Brands (El Segundo, CA) in June 2017
Interview
I submitted my application online and received an email from the recruiter within a few days of my online submission. After speaking with the recruiter over the phone, she wanted me to perform a Product exercise. I had read some reviews of people who were offered the same exercise, spent countless hours on it, submitted it to IB and never received any feedback. I communicated this to the recruiter. She empathized with my notion and told me that she would check with the hiring manager and get back to me on what exercise they wanted me to complete, based on my experience. After a number of follow-up emails I never heard back from her. I felt it was pretty shady and glad that I did not move forward in the process.

Interview
3 round interview process with Hiring manager, VP of products and the team
Focusing on your experience and how it relates to the role, response was pretty fast and moved at long quickly
3 Rounds! Basic product based interview followed by culture fit by leader. Overall fairly straightforward but can change depending on the hiring manager and the vertical for one which you are interviewing for.
They had reached out via LinkedIn. I spoke to a recruiter over phone twice and had a pretty basic screening call. Then I was set up to meet the project manager lead.
