I applied in-person. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Philz Coffee (San Francisco, CA) in June 2014
Interview
I had a couple phone interviews, then had three in person interviews. One with who would be my direct boss, one with the HR manager and my direct boss, and one with my direct boss and the CEO. Each step had a project I needed to complete to provide free work to the company. The CEO never bothered to show up for the final interview.
