I applied through other source. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at A9.com in Jan 2016
Interview
Office is full of highly professional people. They are very slow and lazy in scheduling interviews. Many of my friends had to cancel their interviews as the hr folks couldn't schedule interviews for them and they had other offer deadlines. Interviews are standard. Not difficult.
My first interviewer was late by almost 40 minutes and my recruiter showed up 35 minutes after the scheduled interview to tell me my first interviewer hasn't showed up yet.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at A9.com (New York, NY)
Interview
Usual process. The whole process took a couple of weeks, from first email to set a time for phone screening, and doing the screening. In comparison with other companies, the recruiter was slow in responding emails and scheduling.
I applied through a recruiter and got a response very quickly. They wanted me to interview within a week and I gave them slots in which I was available. A forty five minute phone interview was set up. And it began with general introductions, coding and then I asked the interviewer some questions about the company.
