I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BigCommerce (Austin, TX) in Sept 2012
Interview
Extremely happy with the interview process. No gotcha questions, no brain teasers, no hidden agendas, I was informed of salary and benefits early on. Even though the interview with the managers was challenging, it was the most enjoyable job interview I've ever been a part of.
And it was a little unconventional: When I was interviewed by all four manager, every one had to vote in favor of hiring me. If even one had said "No", they wouldn't have extended an offer.
During the in-person interview, I quickly realized that other companies SAY they put their clients first and believe in giving their employee's a good life balance, but Bigcommerce actually believes it and lives it every day!

Question 1
As I said, there were no gotcha questions. They genuinely wanted to know what my qualifications and motives were.

Interview
I was hired through a hiring event. You need to pass through 3 interviews (1 with a peer, 1 with a manager and 1 with the director of IT) and also navigate your way through all the culture sleuths (yes, we have randomly placed people to judge you on your ability to fit in with the culture).

Interview
Quizzed on ecommerce, html/css, basic web application. I had a test to demonstrate skills, and after that test was passed, I interviewed with managers as well as client success reps. I was asked questions but also encouraged to ask questions about the role.

Interview
They have a lengthy interview process and if you are looking at other opportunities I wouldn't hold out with this company if someone else offers you something in the mean time. First part is to submit a resume then they will give you a link to an online personality test. If you get past that there will be a phone interview with HR. If you get past that they will want you to use the software to create an online store. Now here is where the weird part comes in. After.... you spend hours with creating the store you have to come in to their office to take a computer based knowledge test of HTML and DNS knowledge. This is billed as an 'easy' test but it has a lot of persnickity questions on it with lots of close choices. If you're not a fan of hand coding html on notepad you won't like the test. They should probably administer their computer based knowledge test first as to not waste your time playing with their software.
