I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Motive (Nashville, TN) in Aug 2017
Interview
The interview process included about 5 interviews: one with the recruiter, direct manager, AE, VP of Sales, and the CEO. The process was thorough as they really want to be sure they are choosing employees that align with their values and culture. The entire process took about a month and was not difficult at all. Be specific, clear, and concise when answering the questions.

Interview
I applied online and got an interview with the recruiter quickly. I thought that call went well and I was speaking with the Hiring Manager within a week.
He was cordial and laid out the agenda of the call well but I knew pretty from his tonality and facial expressions that I wasn't getting this job within the first 10 minutes.
He went down a list of questions rather than a real interaction but to his credit, I just approached the call like a conversation at that point - perhaps spoke more than I should have.
Regardless, it was one of the better experiences in that at least I knew right away I was out of the running rather than waiting months with past companies I've been interviewing with.
