I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at FiscalNote (Washington, DC) in Feb 2015
Interview
Phone interview with a coding problem and a logical puzzle. The CEO of the company called and it was really pleasure talking to him over phone. Smart people, push you hard enough to get the answers and helps when the interviewer is motivating rather than intimidating for a change.

Question 1
It was a basic question to check if you know your data structures and algorithms. Logical puzzle was to test how quickly you can think. Overall very positive experience.

Interview
There was a phone interview with some coding questions. The on-site interview was mostly whiteboarding programming questions of varying difficulty. The interview was mostly technical and I was interview by six employees in the process. The team was very engaging and seem like they enjoy working at the company. The office was very crowded but I got to see the pink wall and things left from the previous tenant in the office.

Interview
Phone interview - after which they promised a response within several days but did not provide any. I'm unsure if the company does not offer rejections (which indicates an inability to communicate rejection or 'bad news') or if they're so busy at this moment ($10m of venture capital deposited recently, trying to hire tons of people) but it ultimately did not leave the most professional impression.
