I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at LA Fitness (Irvine, CA) in Mar 2013
Interview
No initial phone interview. I was contacted by a recruiter and scheduled for an in person interview. The interview lasted about 3 hours including a 90 minute coding test. The test is of a practical nature and you are left on your own with internet access to finish it. Very easy. I then had 2 interviews. 1st was a technical interview with 4 other developers. The questions were very basic and easy. 2nd session was with 4 development managers. Typical manger type questions in these, not very technical but some design type questions.
After that interview they decided to make an offer and I had to go back to meet with the CIO to have a final interview and negotiation of the offer.
