I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Laserfiche (Long Beach, CA) in Feb 2013
Interview
An hour long interview that goes through standard resume reviews and some behavioral questions like why you chose your major. Then gives a homework assignment for additional assessments. After this, an interview with a hiring manager takes places.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Laserfiche (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2017
Interview
Had a phone screen, the recruiter asked some general questions like what does the company do, and why I would want to work there. It was then followed by some fairly easy technical questions. Did not make it to the assessment stage.

Interview
I never formally applied. I met a recruiter at a career fair. She asked me some basic-ish CS questions (i.e. what is the big O run time of adding an element to an array, what is the difference between a queue and a stack). I don't have a lot of formal CS training so I was a bit rusty, but I was able to handle the questions. She still gave me a weird look after every answer. A couple months later I got an email about an interview for Software Test Engineer. First was a phone screen that was a general get to know you interview. They asked about some experiences on my resume and about what extra curricular activities I do at school. They then interviewed me two worksheet things with a week to complete. One was a java function that looked for integer matches in an array for a given integer that you could do in java or C. I did java, which I was a bit rusty on because I mainly use python and c#. The other was a problem that was finding the issue in a car manufacturing plant having an issue with paint by reading through some 'interviews' with supervisors at the plant. It was pretty unique I thought. I emailed that in and never heard back since, which was a bit annoying.

Interview
I had a very short technical interview at a career fair, followed by three technical challenges, followed by a 3 hour technical interview over Skype. Then they flew me out to LA for another day of technical interviews. The whole process was challenging but also fun and rewarding, and everyone I talked to was very friendly. I ultimately decided not to take the job, but I got very good vibes from the company.
