I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at X (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2012
Interview
Very quick and efficient.
Received a call from the recruiter after being referred internally.
Had a phone interview the next day and an in-person interview the following day. The recruiter did an amazing job at keeping me in the loop and informing me with updates.
Total time from recruiter call to job offer was 3 days.
