      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Glassdoor (Mill Valley, CA) in Oct 2016

      Interview

      Initially contacted by recruiter. Phone screen with recruiter, two separate technical calls with members of the team, then an on-site interview with several members of IT.
