I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AppNexus (New York, NY)
Interview
The first analytical interview was strange - the interviewers were younger than myself, and they ran the analytical portion (which to my understanding is not the way its supposed to go - you're supposed to steer the analytical process so they can understand the way you think). I'm not really sure they know what they are doing; these types of interviews have no right answer and it seemed as if they were looking for something specific. The second interview was with an individual who took notes on a computer and barely made eye contact with me. She seemed anything but thrilled to be there. Overall, the company seemed laid back and the office was wonderful, but the interview process made me wonder about how the company is ran on the inside, past all the flashy facades...

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AppNexus (New York, NY) in Jul 2016
Interview
Applied online through a referral. All in all process took ~1 month from submission of application to completion, but a holiday occurred in between so your mileage may vary. I believe the holiday along with other factors delayed my decision by about a week. After a phone screen, a 6 hour "blitz day" and one additional 1 hour interview I received an offer. The staff was very friendly and prompt with their replied and could not have made the process any smoother than they did!
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at AppNexus (Sydney)
Interview
The interview process with AppNexus was quite lengthy, but overall a really positive experience. It consisted of an initial phone interview, two in-person interviews at their Sydney office, 3 Skype interviews with offices in London and Singapore, ending with one final interview at the Sydney office. It was a really good opportunity for me to learn more about the people that work there, the company, and the role that I was applying for.
