Applied online. Was given a coding callenge to complete. Then was asked to set up a phone interview. The interviewer first asked about my experience from the resume. Not a lot of questions on that but was just listening to me. Then directly jumped to the coding questions. A doc was shared.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pocket Gems in Feb 2015
Interview
I was emailed by HR for my resume and was then asked to email available times for an interview. The process was fairly straightforward and they responded quickly. My first phone interview had a coding question on an online codesharing site CoderPad. I was only asked one coding question, but didnt finish the question in time. After the coding question they'll ask about runtime. They responded quickly (same day) with my notice that I wasnt right for the part, but overall it was a good experience.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Pocket Gems (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2015
Interview
I was referred by a recruiter I worked with at a different job, and communicated with PocketGems through jobvite. The process began by scheduling a phone call with an art director, which was interesting and went well. Afterward I emailed in some questions, signed an NDA and visited the studio. I got a quick tour but didn't see any art, projects or WIP of any kind. I spoke with the art director again between bites of free lunch and then met with a project leader. The conversation went abstract / high level for long enough that it ate up most of the time I had available to visit. The next day I received notice via email that they would be looking at other candidates.
