I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HackerRank (Palo Alto, CA) in Sept 2018
Interview
It's a 3 hour panel interview. 3 hours sounds like a long time but this is very beneficial because you meet every level of personnel on the team and get to understand their unbiased day to day basis. You get a very good idea during the interview whether or not HackerRank is a good fit for you the candidate which is nice.

Interview
The interview process was very straight-forward. I applied online and was contacted for a phone interview with the SDR manager. The conversation went well, unfortunately they decided to move forward with other candidates.
The only complaint I have was the lack of feedback received. The rejection letter stated "if you have any questions, I am here to help". I would recommend not putting that line in the email if you have no intention of responding or providing feedback.

Interview
Process for both was very efficient and effective. It never felt like any time was wasted because of how structured and organized they are. Interview process was new and different but a good formula for a fast turn around rate of quality employees. All in all, it feels organic, genuine and makes you want to be there.
