I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AOL (Palo Alto, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
Pretty Easy. Phone interview with recruiter, phone interview with hiring manager in person interview with manager and team. After they knew I had a technical background they were more concerned with how I would fit with the team and other related groups
Really great. Worthwhile experience. Challenging to get through. Learned a lot. Would definitely recommend it to anyone. Research the company the position. Come prepared to discuss your resume and past experience.
The interview started with a short phone screen and then an in person interview. Both were pleasant and fairly easy. All of the questions were pretty easy and expected. They were looking mostly for cultural fit based on my resume.
Phone interview with HR- who forgot to call me, rescheduled and then forgot to call me again. I already didn't have a good feeling but then I got asked for an in person interview and I went anyway. It was 3 hours long and seemed very painful and repetitive. This is advertising not rocket science but they had 5 separate people interview me (4 of which were video conferences) and they each had long case studies for me. I got most of them but it just seemed like a bit too much.
