I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SurveyMonkey (Ottawa, ON) in Aug 2016
Interview
I applied online and received an email from a recruiter within a few days asking my availability for initial phone screen. Had a 15 minute call with the recruiter to talk about my interest and learn more about the company. The recruiter got back to me a week later to schedule a technical phone call with a SE in Test. The technical phone call was about an hour long. I was asked questions related to QA and my past job experience. After few days recruiters emailed and wanted to schedule an onsite interview.
I was given a tour of a beautiful office and was offered snacks and drinks. The interview was 2.5 hours long and back-to-back with 5 different interviewers. People seemed very cool; they described the environment, team and future plans. The interview process let me meet some interesting people and get a good feel for the culture and how they do things. It was a very casual interview process. They asked me about my hobbies and interests. We also had a conversation about food and public transportation. I felt it was a very positive interview experience overall. The whole experience of SurveyMonkey interview process is to see if you are a good fit. They can teach you to code, they can't teach you how to be you. I love the whole process and everyone was so friendly and open.
After few hours of the interview recruiter called and asked me for my references. After a week I was offered a job.

Question 1
I was asked questions related to QA and my past job experience
The interview process was pretty quick and painless. I applied online and heard back in about 3 weeks. A screening phone interview was set up for the next week. I heard back within a day or two and set up a secondary phone interview. I heard back from that interview again within about a day and scheduled an in-person interview (about 4 hours, technical and behavioral) for later that week. The whole process took maybe 5-6 weeks from application to accepted offer.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SurveyMonkey (Ottawa, ON) in July 2016
Interview
The whole process took more than 4 months starting with recruiter's call to the final decision. After recruiter's call there was a short technical phone interview with basics about testing a website. It was followed by an onsite interview with team manager, team lead, director etc. The interview was pretty easy with questions related to previous job, ambitions and few technical questions.
