I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at OpenTable (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
6 rounds, mostly with engineers, 1 with VP of engineering. Overall process was very smooth. I felt interview experience was very similar to AirBnB except Airbnb's cultural round at the end. They also gave me a take home exercise which I enjoyed working on. I would rate it 5/5 on good quality questions and difficulty level. Keeping interviews difficult is very important to hire the best and keeping the culture good.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard algorithmic problems related to their business and real world, dynamic programming problems, N x N grid.
The product seems interesting, but the HR person complained about their work and didn't know how to answer basic questions about the team during the interview. I got a generic rejection a few weeks later.

It was smooth however they failed to inform what was the nature of the interview. I assumed it to be a screening /behavioral interview but it turned out to be a technical coding interview
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at OpenTable (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
The interview began with a phone call with hiring manager where my interest to apply and past experiences were gauged . Followed by a take home coding test . After the coding test was submitted , I had three to four rounds of interview speaking to future team mates and one pair programming session related to the coding task , then a chat with the PM , hiring manager and another manager . Although the interview took long it was great experience meeting really great people. The whole process was great and didn't feel like I was being tested but the interview was conducted with an approach of getting to know the candidate
