I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Airtime (Palo Alto, CA) in Oct 2016
Interview
The interview process was very informal and there was no formal coding test that I can recall. After a couple of phone interviews which were wide-ranging the general assumption was that coding questions were a waste of everyone's time.
There was a single all-day interview on-site where I had four meetings with four different groups of people / individuals including my prospective team-mates, my prospective "partner" within the company, and the top product and technical people.
Like most good interview processes, the conversations were very fluid and interesting. There were no "gotcha" questions or dumb programming tricks.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Airtime (New York, NY) in May 2016
Interview
Had a 15 mins call with an HR recruiter, the schedule call via Airtime. They emailed me a coding challenge. The programming challenge was easy and straight forward. I got an email from recruiter that they didn't like my solution. I was disappointed because there was no feedback. There is no point in investing your time when you don't get back anything in return.
