I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sprout Social (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2016
Interview
Applied on web and got email response within a 2 days to setup half hour phone call with recruiter. Next was one hour interview with hiring manager or senior engineer on Google Hangouts. Some live coding on Collabedit.
Next a "Challenge Assignment" (see below) which have a week to complete.
They make the coding challenge review completely blind, taking out all references to your name, so they can review it without bias. I failed this step.
If you don't know this specific coding, beware of spending tons of hours on it for them to just reject it.
