I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pocket Gems (San Jose, CA) in July 2015
Interview
Had a phone interview, and the interviewer asked a coding question that he wanted me to write out over the internet. It was finding needle in a haystack problem. Problem itself was not hard but when the interviewer asked me to explain my code, i could tell he was not paying any attention at all (awkward pauses between my explanations and his responses). It really does sound like theyre trying to digure out the whole interview process still. Interviewer was really disengaged-- he didnt say a single word the entire time i was coding, even though i was thinking outloud and all. Had to be the worst interview interaction ever.
I received an email from an HR after participating in an online competition. The first round was an online coding interview with an engineer from their team. I did not go beyond the telephonic round.

Interview
OA with 2 medium problems & a code review, 1-hour 1st round technical interview followed by 3 consecutive 1-hour technical interviews.
The interviewers were all super nice. They were willing to work together towards a solution when I needed some subtle hints. They were very polite, engaged and eager to chat.
Got the offer pretty shortly after my last interview
