I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at A9.com in Mar 2016
Interview
Recruiter got in touch and had an introductory call with them.
One phone interview and full day of onsite interviews.
Overall the process was smooth. I didn't like the lunch interview as I was very hungry and the interviewer kept asking me questions so I could not eat at all.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Was asked a graphs related question for the phone screen.
The onscreen was all over the basics, taking the basic CS concepts and implementing them in a problem. Brush up on your CS data structures, hashmaps = they are very important, and pointers.
I can't go over the exact questions, but generally speaking there were questions from :
1. Variation of array search.
2. String manipulation question.
3. Prior work and projects.
4. Text search.
Hope this helps.

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.
