I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Linden Lab (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2016
Interview
I applied through their website. Process took about 2 weeks. Was contacted by HR Manager via email and asked to do a tech screening with their tech lead. Tech screening was via phone and lasted about 30 minutes. Was flown onsite to their office in San Francisco where I met with the team the position would be working with. Was given a tour of the office. There were 7 back to back interviews with a break in between for lunch. It was basically to check if I was qualified to work with them, they asked several questions for the white board. I was told about a week later that they chose to go with another candidate. The whole experience was really exhilarating.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Linden Lab (Brighton, England)
Interview
Google style; multiple segments (5) of chat and questions on different technical areas, by different team members, both at manager level and with other developers I'd be working with. Included a whiteboard pseudocode problem-solving challenge and questions finding out whether I knew and understood basic ideas in technologies and design patterns/techniques for the skills involved in the role applied for. A chance to ask questions of the staff during each part too. Then at the end a non-computer related problem to solve a well-known physical puzzle/toy in a set state (only a few repeated pattern of moves away from solved), if I could.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Linden Lab (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2015
Interview
I applied online, the recruiter contacted me after two days to learn more about my background , skills, etc. Then director of data warehouse reached out to me and then they invited me for onsite interview, where I spent the whole day being interviewed by the team . The whole interview was a waste of time for everyone . Simply these guys don't know what they are doing and definitely not serious about hiring .
