I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Jet (Hoboken, NJ) in Jul 2017
Interview
Got reached out to by a recruiter over LinkedIn. Had a phone screen interview then was asked to complete an app based assessment game. You can't really prep for the game, it tests your cognitive and memory skills as well as some other intangibles. I was shortly after notified that I passed, and was invited to Hoboken for in-person interviews.
Had 5 back to back interviews .. Everyone was incredibly nice and straightforward. Nothing to crazy. Heard back from HR that I got the offer a few days later. They were very responsive. Overall smooth process

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Jet (San Bruno, CA) in Aug 2017
Interview
Generally pretty smooth. The recruiter reached out via LinkedIn, had a quick call basically making sure I was interested in the position, asked a few basic questions, and then pushed me through. The remainder was just an app game which was silly but is make-or-break apparently, and then a superday at the HQ in San Bruno. The superday consisted of three back-to-back interviews, about 45 minutes each. One is a very basic case, assessing the profitability of an acquisition company; one is a UX discussion where you look at the site and point out what you'd change for user experience; one is purely behavioral.
Each of the interviews has at least a few behavioral and fit questions thrown in, but the interviewers I had were generally really nice and fun to talk to, so it doesn't feel high pressure at all. There was a big focus on assessing whether or not I could disagree with management, and also to assess collaborative experience.
