I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Xoom (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2012
Interview
Only phone and personal interviews. First I have a phone interview from the person that was going to be my manager. Then I spoke with they HR team. After a couple of days, I was invited for onsite interviews with different managers. Most of them where very friendly but no so well prepared on asking questions and doing an interview.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Xoom (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
The interview process consisted of interviewing with the hiring manager, and two more of his peers that he trusted. No tricky questions, just a normal conversation trying to get to know you better and how your skills transfer to the job you are applying for.
The interviewing manager was quite friendly, but extremely unprepared when she called me for my first and only interview. After exchanging greetings, she apologized for being late to make the call and then asked me to wait while she reviewed my resume! She said she needed to recall what questions she had planned to ask.

Question 1
Once organized, she proceeded to ask very specific questions about a project I had worked on almost ten years prior.
