Applied online and got an email to set up an initial phone interview. It was just an introduction to the company and getting to know you kind of thing. Then they sent me a coding challenge to complete and send back for review. It wasn't too hard but wasn't a simple reverse a string kind of thing.
Later had a phone interview with an engineer to discuss my code and other resume/project questions. In about a week I heard back that I was not offered a position but they offered to set up a phone call to explain why. I really appreciated that last phone call and will definitely apply again in the future.
I applied through university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Flipboard (New York, NY) in Jan 2019
Interview
Received an email from a recruiter, I think they found me through a School Recruitment Email Service, not too sure. They asked me to complete an OA question and the question was too hard for me at the time so I passed.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Flipboard (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2015
Interview
My interviewing experience at Flipboard was great. Pretty standard process of chat with recruiter, a coding challenge, phone screen with one of the engineers to discuss the coding challenge solution and sync up on prior experience and the role, and then a half a day of final remote interviews with managers/engineers at Flipboard. The interviewers and the recruiter were very friendly and transparent about the work/culture/etc at Flipboard. It took a while to get their final feedback, but I believe that is mostly because of holidays (Nov-Dec). At the end, the recruiter was very reasonable in their negotiations. Overall, a very good experience with mindful set of folks.
