I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Houzz (Irvine, CA) in Aug 2015
Interview
A Houzz recruiter reached out on LinkedIn and set up a phone interview. After a phone interview, an in-person interview with one of their Recruitment Managers was set up. The final interview consisted of a sales call role play. Two Sales Managers followed up the role play with an in-depth and in-person discussion. The company seems to be very interested in their culture and therefore ask questions that will demonstrate if you'd be a good fit with the rest of the team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Common interview questions related to your previous work experience and how your skills/experience will contribute to the company. Also asked about high school and college activities.
Met with recruiter then hiring manager and team lead manager I would be working with. Pretty fast overall process once they have reached out to you. Several quick questions about experience and then metrics into their company and what the role entails.
It was an efficient process. One phone interview with their recruiter and then an in person interview with a manager. Role playing was part of the interview process (the manager gave me a specific complaint and I had to resolve the customer’s problem).

Interview
Thorough but comfortable! I had multiple interviews, but everyone was very personable. They requested an at home typing speed test (to be completed after the first interview) and asked me to email the results to the recruiter.
