Initial phone interview, then was sent a short online test, next was a call with management.
The person contacting me from HR was great at communication. Fast to reply and very clear about the whole process. Probably one of the best communication I've had with HR before.
The position didn't work out, but everyone was extremely kind. The pay brackets being offered for different levels of software engineers were pretty low for the area(especially jr-mid), so I'd definitely recommend the company look into this in the future so they can get and keep top talent from the area.
We appreciate your kind review! We care greatly about our candidate experience and are so glad to hear that you had a positive experience.
Thank you as well for your feedback about pay brackets for this role. We regularly review our total compensation package (including benefits, perks, pay, and more) to ensure that we remain competitive.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TechnologyAdvice (Nashville, TN) in Apr 2015
Interview
First I had a phone interview with someone from HR, followed by a technical interview with the CTO and another developer. After that I was invited to a third and final interview where I spent 30 minutes meeting the whole engineering team, and then about two and a half hours with the CTO and some of the engineers working on a project like problem.
The whole process took about a week and a half, they were quick in letting me know where I stood and I didn't feel like any of it was gimmicky or disingenuous. Very straight forward and honest.
The technical interview was challenging, but they were looking for someone to know it all, it was more of a practice of collaboration and real problem solving. Definitely a refreshing change from other technical interviews I've done.
