I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Hulu (San Diego, CA) in Feb 2016
Interview
Met with a recruiter at a job fair. A few days later I was sent a E-mail to complete the coding challenge. We were given 6 hours to code up a single API--but it was very difficult for me. Though wow, they were really fun with the problem statement. Just reading it made me think that the company might be a great place to work.

Question 1
Coding up an API. I don't think I'm allowed to give many more details than that.
They email me a coding challenge and I have 8 hours to complete it. After a week I got reply that they gave me a phone interview. The interviewer asked some questions about hash table and other data structures. The question was not too hard, but I was not doing well.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Hulu in Oct 2014
Interview
Got the opportunity from the career. I was asked to solve a online hangman game within 8 hours as a preliminary. I was allowed to pick any time I like in the two weeks. The countdown started right after I click the link to the description of the task. This preliminary was not about algorithm at all. I think it was designed to test the interviewees' ability of basic programming and solving real-world challenge. The 8-hour task was of course pretty tiring but it was fun to me.
Then I had one phone interview with two technical algorithm-related question. I was also asked to do a little self introduction at the beginning and was given a chance to ask any question I wanted to know about Hulu before we hanged up. The phone interview was as normal as any other company.
