I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Redfin (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
There was one phone chat with the HR, where she asked me basic questions about my interest in the profile, company, my preferences and who I spoke with in the career fair.
After that there were 3 rounds of on-campus interviews, where they asked me behavioral as well as technical questions.
For technical - there were some basic algorithmic questions, and I was told to write code on the whiteboard - syntactically correct code was expected.
For behavioral, I was asked about experiences from my past. Equal importance was given to behavioral and technical questions.

It was a VERY long process (initial screening, take home coding, 4 hr interview) and a really long wait between rounds.
