I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Sonos (Boston, MA) in Nov 2016
Interview
The interview process was great and straight forward. Rather than trying to "stump" me at the whiteboard with Computer Science problems that are totally irrelevant to the job, the hiring team gave me a programming assignment to work on over the weekend that was in-line with a future roadmap item. This was the best hiring process I have ever been through.
Had a call with the talent team then a quick chat with a hiring manager that was on the verge of technical. Not sure they got to really know me or understand much before it was over.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sonos (Cambridge, MA) in Jul 2019
Interview
Did a video interview initially. Then did an onsite. Technical portions were with 2 interviewers, behavioral was typically 1-on-1 and at times with a manager. It was pretty typical format. You're in a room, interviewers come in and out. It was about 3-4 hours long.
