I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SurveyMonkey (Berkeley, CA) in Feb 2016
Interview
First there was a 15 minute phone screen. This is non-technical and just background check on things asked in resume. They asked what other companies I was interviewing with. Then there is a 1 hour phone interview (technical). They ask coding questions and watch you code. I recommend choosing a language you are comfortable with. I was not really comfortable with the language that I chose. . . The interviewers are all really nice! I do recommend applying!
