I applied online. I interviewed at PALIO (New York, NY) in Apr 2017
Interview
Got a call from a recruiter that seemed nice and cordial but things changed. They try to low ball you from the beginning. Talking you down and telling you market rates that were not accurate. Overall they were not very professional or experienced in my opinion. Would not want to be in that environment considering I got an offer offering 50%+ more than what they did.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at PALIO (New York, NY) in Nov 2013
Interview
The worst interview process I've ever expperienced in the industry. Had to pass 2 layers of consultant recruiters (based in Ohio) though the job was in NYC. One basically lied to me about setting up a next-step interview with the then CCO who was based in Saratoga Springs, NY. That CCO has since left the company, even though he was an original managing partner of the organization. To echo many, the merger with Ignite and their association with InVentiv ruined what was once a good thing.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PALIO (New York, NY) in Apr 2016
Interview
I met with the Director of Technology and the Senior Developer at that time. Both were really pleasant interviewers and mostly just went through my resume and asked about my different experiences and skills I had listed. They also took a look at a few sites I had built.
