I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at A Thinking Ape in Jul 2016
Interview
The process was very pleasant. I was contacted through email by the HR to set up a first interview with them. The first interview was with the HR to discover my interests, learn of what I have and why I chose to apply to ATA.
After that, I had one hour interview over Skype with a developer where she asked a few questions on how I would design (and implement) a system that required updating player scores and leaderboards.
I passed that interview and had yet another interview which I didn't do too well. After that I got a reply from them saying I didn't meet the skill set they are looking for.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at A Thinking Ape
Interview
After I passed the phone screen with HR, I was brought on-site for a first round technical interview, which is a standard 45 minute whiteboard type of deal. Upon passing that, you'd then have a final round of interviews- two more whiteboard interviews in the morning, then lunch, then a third whiteboard interview, then a meeting with the CEO.
I actually received the offer by telephone by the time I got home from the interview, so expect a quick turnaround time. They are also generous with giving feedback.
