I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Sprout Social (North Chicago, IL) in Nov 2014
Interview
Sprout's process was thorough and challenging but always fair and communication was great.
Found Sprout at a career fair, then had a series of phone screens (first one non-technical, then technical). Afterwards, I was given a coding challenge involving a sample Django application. Finally, I was invited onsite for a series of interviews with more technical questions on data structures and algorithms.
