I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Riverbed Technology (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
Two phone screens, one all-day interview with tech writing department in San Francisco which included lunch. One-on-one with each of the team members. Looking for technical skill and experience. Got a lot of questions about what I'd worked on before, and my information-gathering style.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked about tools I'd used - FrameMaker, WebWorks. Asked about my skills and background, and work environment. Asked if I'd be OK to travel to San Francisco occasionally - at the start, it was once a week, but now it's less than that.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Riverbed Technology (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2012
Interview
I applied online through either Glassdoor or LinkedIn. An in-house recruiter contacted me and did and initial phone screen. Next the recruiter set up a phone interview with the hiring manager which eventually resulted in a follow-up 3/4 day interview with the entire writing team (met members one-by-one). Each of the interviewers were well prepared and asked questions around technical knowledge and cultural fit. I enjoyed speaking with each and learning about their work too.
