I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Rapleaf (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2010
Interview
Communicates well, very professional HR staff. I had a 5 question email screen asking some Linux questions and a brief 2 paragraph story on something you've worked on. Then I had a phone screen with mostly linux sysadmin questions and some basic networking. Then was brought in for two interviews with 2 people each, all were developers but two of the developers also handle the current sysadmin responsibilities. Fun company culture, lots of bright people seem to be working there. Be prepared to answer developer questions, or be a developer as much as you are an administrator. If you come from a similar webapp company and did everything there, you probably have the skills that they are looking for.
