I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at X in Sep 2013
Interview
Met the company representative through a campus fair. Had an online coding challenge followed by an on campus interview. Coding challenge was for one hour, and had 2 questions. Both were reasonably easy to solve. Just had to make sure to treat every base case properly. This was followed by an on campus interview. Had a very open ended question focusing more on the approach than the actual solution itself. In fact the question has no "one right answer". Every answer had a pit fall, and the interviewer was interested in seeing if you could identify the pit falls in your method and find the scenarios where the might fail.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at X in Oct 2013
Interview
I applied online and was soon given a coding test to assess my abilities. I passed the test and was invited to a first-round phone interview which I passed. Very soon (only a few hours) after, they told me that they were interested in a second-round phone interview, which I did. They then sent me a survey and told me they'd get back to me in the next few days. Because previous communication had been so prompt, I already knew that I had not advanced when I did not hear back from them within 2 days. By the third day the emailed me telling me that there were no positions available for me. What frustrated me was that the second phone interview had been a very easy question, but I momentarily blanked and thus was a bit slow in answering, and that was what blew it for me.
