I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Boundary (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2013
Interview
Received a phone interview setup by the recruiter after applying. The phone screen was with a junior level recruiter who basically just asked me why I'm looking to make a change. That's it-- additionally she couldn't answer most of my questions and we completed the call. I know the first phone screen should be basic questions but this girl did not ask me any questions related to me skills or background--I find that unacceptable for any company to have their recruiters represent the company in that manner. I was not impressed at all.
I tried to follow up but didn't receive anything back, clearly the recruitment department needs people who can do justice for hiring.
Preliminary interview/test is a 30 minute timed programming test on their website. Specific instructions are to not compile the program, just type it in.
