I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Prezi (Budapest) in July 2024
Interview
The algorithmic interview involved a data structure implementation and discussion around it. I was interviewed by two senior-level engineers who were very welcoming and open to discussion. I often get nervous during interviews, but the interviewers managed to create a calming atmosphere.

Interview
For me the interview process took several months. The interview was divided in multiple stages, first of which was the very relaxed and informal HR interview. This was followed by the HackerRank assignment on generic programming algorithms. The time here is very limited and I had some technical hiccups with HackerRank website however I passed it. The next step was the Skype interview with team members and project leader. Nothing too scary, however very focused on the latest technologies. I was given a small coding task during that too. After this, I was informed that they would like to continue the process and I was given a small programming task to finish at my own pace. This consisted of writing a full-fledged application and unit tests for it. Was informed that I passed it and I was flown to Hungary for the onsite days with a team. Their offices are really cool and the people are interesting. Most of them are young. Again, I was given a coding task to finish and had to prepare the prezi presentation describing the whole process. I didn’t pass here.
Although I failed, overall it was a positive and refreshing experience.
Good luck :)
I applied through other source. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Prezi (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
Outstanding interview process with an "assessment week" where you have to work on an actual project with your potential team. This is apparently the best interview process I've experienced, way more advanced than the standard and broken whiteboard-only processes.
