I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at NetApp (Sunnyvale, CA) in Oct 2016
Interview
Had a very engaging and positive phone interview with a senior recruiter, over an hour. Phone interview was structured but not to the point of being stifling, found call to be exciting and engaging. I was advised by the recruiter he would be setting up an interview soon. Checked in via email once a week for 3 weeks, on 3rd email got a response that they were still phone screening candidates and that several lined up well for the position, but no information on where I fit in, but he would get back to me in a week. No follow up other than an automated email saying thanks but no thanks.
RECRUITERS - IF YOU ARE INTEREVIEWING CANDIDATES FOR ANY LEVEL, BUT ESPECIALLY DIRECTOR AND HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE CANDIDATE - YOU OWE THEM A PERSONAL EMAIL OR CALL.

Interview
It was the normal process of applying online followed by HR recruiter's initial screening and then video meeting with the hiring manager. After that, there was an email from the HR recruiter on the status.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NetApp (Sunnyvale, CA) in Feb 2015
Interview
Extremely urgent interview process that I accommodated despite a busy work schedule. It was a disappointing process overall. The recruiting function was non existent and not candidate focused. Very surprising especially for the valley in this climate.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing stood out in particular. Pretty standard kinds of interview questions. I did notice that the team didn't seem very aligned on what they were looking for. Each interviewer had their own style and just asked whatever was top of mind.
