I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Spiceworks Ziff Davis (Austin, TX) in Jul 2014
Interview
The recruiter set up a time for late afternoon, which wouldn't normally be a big deal. However, she had been churning phone calls all day and by the time she got to me, I encountered a defeated and careless recruiter. I understand the phone screen process, and her main mission was to find a culture fit-ironically I don't think she fit in with the culture projected by Spiceworks.
Nearly all of her questions were scripted, which I understand to a certain extent, so canned responses were needed so she could simply fill out the form she was reading off of and move on to the next candidate. Most of my questions were not able to be answered by the recruiter and defaulted to "You will have to ask an Account Executive that."--which could have been handled much better.
I went in thinking I wanted to join the Spiceworks team, however after the initial screen I was turned off. Also, the compensation plan is low ball for industry standards. I would apply to Spiceworks with a raised eyebrow and low expectations from their recruiter staff.

Question 1
"If you could make your next role what would it be?" --the obvious answer is something similar to the one you're applying for. This is a silly question, but the recruiters have to ask it, like robots.

Interview
Interview process was standard. First call with the peoples team and then the hiring manager. The call with the hiring manager went well over the allotted time. However, the hiring manager was very nice. Pretty standard questions were asked and it was a pleasant experience.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Spiceworks Ziff Davis in Oct 2018
Interview
Started with a phone screen. Went well and was asked to come in for an in person “panel” interview to pitch the solution to a group. Included a few mangers, and another Account exec. I was told I did very well and I would be contacted within the next week or two as to whether or not they were going to move forward with an offer. More than two months has gone by with no update. I to appear to have been ghosted, which is a bummer because I was really looking forward to working here.

Interview
Interview is really long, but ends up helping you understand why you should be there. You will sit down with at least 8 people throughout the interview process and you must get a yes from all of them.
