I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Opower in Aug 2015
Interview
Recruiter reached out through LinkedIn. Did initial phone screening with HR and then a 45 minute interview with the hiring manager. During both calls, I felt like the interviewers were not paying attention. The hiring manager would pause for a while after i responded to a question like he was reading emails, and then just ask the next question on his list. There were no follow up questions from the initial question. Communication with HR was adequate, they would usually respond with 4-5 days after an interview.

I applied online and received an email to set up a phone screen. After this there was an evaluation exercise to be completed at home. Then a 30-minute phone interview with the recruiting manager, followed by 2-3 hours of on-site interviews with various members of the team. There was one final phone interview with a senior staff in Arlington before the offer was made.
