I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Fiksu
Interview
I went through two phone screens, and then had an on sight interview which consisted of five back to back interviews. Each one required white board coding, and a conversation about how the code was implemented.
Everyone was very friendly and kind during the interview. I got to see a bit of the office and talk to developers on many levels. Nothing was too unexpected, though I was given some questions on SQL outputs and threading.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing was too difficult, I got a question on removing duplicates from an array in linear time, one on how hash tables work, and a few more. Overall they were very forgiving with not knowing exact syntax but understanding the greater concept.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Fiksu (Boston, MA) in Apr 2015
Interview
Brief phone interview, followed by a codeshare skype interview. Did well enough on those two to have a superday at the office. The employees seemed tired and disinterested in me. We did some classic coding questions like a method to return fibonnaci numbers. Didn't get the offer, but the office seemed pretty nice.

Question 1
Recursive and iterative methods that return fibonnacci numbers

Interview
A friend forwarded my resume to a recruiter who contacted me and set up a phone interview with a developer. I got asked a standard question about tree traversal. Got an email a few days later inviting me to an on-site interview which was three 45 minute back to back technical interviews with developers. It was very friendly, questions were not too bad and I felt fairly confident afterward. Then recruiter emails me saying they are reevaluating their intern program and I should check back in with them in a month. I never did because I got another offer but the whole thing was annoying and apparently a waste of time. Not sure why you would interview candidates for a position you weren't looking to fill.

Interview
It was a fairly standard interview process. They had an initial phone interview just to get a sense of who I was an my experience, then an initial in person interview to get a baseline for technical competency, then a final second round interview with 4 members of their various groups
