I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Access Softek in May 2014
Interview
There was an initial screening interview by the corporate recruiter which was followed by a phone technical interview. I have been web development for a long time and I found a couple of the questions on the technical skills test very challenging.
The hiring manager took a very long time to get back to me about the skills test and I never did get to actually speak to them about how I did.

Question 1
Problem 1. Find the Bugs (5 points each)
The following routines each have one bug. Correct each one.
a. This function is supposed to append string_tail to the end of string_head without using the strcat() function. It assumes that string_head has enough room to contain the result.
char* AppendString(char* string_head, char* string_tail)
{
int length;
length = strlen(string_tail);
strcpy(string_head + length, string_tail);
return string_head;
}
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Access Softek (Berkeley, CA)
Interview
I was approached online by a recruiter and asked if I want to try pass an interview process to be hired as a remote software developer (independent contractor). The process took about 3 weeks to complete. There were 1 introductory HR interview, offline programming test, and 3 technical interviews (programming and general topics). All interviews were remote via Skype. I enjoyed programming interviews a lot, these were one of the most interesting interviews I had in my career. The level of specialists conducting interviews was impressive. In the end I was offered a job, which I accepted.
