I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Los Altos Software Testing House in Mar 2013
Interview
Took a good 3-4 hours for the final face-to-face interview. Prior to that: 2 Skype interviews. Reasonable questions on professional background and examples to back it up. Also was asked about personal priorities, which is great as it shows you're not just a working force for the company.
