I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Riverbed Technology (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2015
Interview
It starts with one phone screen with the hiring manager. After that, I was invited for the on-site interview. There were 5 one-on-one technical interviews. One of them was more on system design. The questions were algorithmic based, but very straightforward. I was able to solve them without much help with about a week worth of coding practice after work. One of the on-site interview was conducted by the director and I stumbled on his question a bit. I think only 2 interviews dedicated some time for me to tell some technical behavioral stories. It's always good to have a few different kind of stories in your head to answer different type of behavior questions. For the system design question, make sure to use the whiteboard fully. i.e. listing requirements, simple flow charts, etc. Even though your design might not be right, it still showed that your are dissecting a problem.

I applied online and got call from recruiter within few days. He explained about the position and all of their products in detail. Position was more of front end developer position. Then got phone screening with hiring manager. He asked few simple questions about CSS and JavaScript.
They called me for full day onsite interview. There were 7 interviews scheduled for whole day, including one lunch interview. There was no break scheduled. Honestly it was the longest interview I had ever experienced. Interview questions were pretty simple just some tricky JavaScript and CSS question
