Interview
The company's CTO contacted me via LinkedIn and offered to start an interviewing process. After my agreement I was redirected to an HR person and we scheduled a phone interview with the CTO. He called on-time and we talked for about 45 minutes. It was a pretty nice and smooth chat after which he suggested to continue to the UX challenge.
In the UX challenge one should download their free trial, analyze it and suggest a redesign to a page, an interaction or a workflow. This part is pretty tricky since it's a very open challenge and they do not tell you what exactly to do. It's also a little annoying that they give you a challenge based on their product (free labor).
They request to invest 4-6 hours and give you one week to work on it. I submitted the work two days before the deadline and invested more time than was requested: prepared a heuristic evaluation, which discovered usability and other bugs in the system. In addition I submitted a high fidelity interactive prototype of a chosen workflow (high fidelity was a requirement). They sent me a feedback email and left me a voice message, gave a positive feedback about my analysis but a very general and vague feedback about my design "your design is not intuitive/consistent". They didn't give an opportunity to explain my design via phone.
I would say that throughout the process they were responsive, polite and nice. However, one should be aware that the evaluation of his/her design challenge will be (probably) done by a product team in which there is only one junior UX Designer and the rest have engineering or business education.

Interview
Phone screen with CTO, then design test, then onsite. The whole process was pretty straightforward. The questions asked were not very UX/UI focused, which confused me a bit. Asked a lot about previous experience.

Interview
I was reached out by the CTO and had a phone interview with him. Then I was given a design challenge that I had to complete in a week. After I submitted, I heard back the next day that they liked my design and that they want to fly me out for an onsite interview.
The design challenge and onsite interview heavily conflicted with my schedule, so I had to postpone them for awhile but they were understanding and respectful of my timeline.
During onsite, I did one-on-one sessions with several people. They asked me about past experience and some behavioral questions. I was also asked to do a mini design challenge for them to see how my thinking process is like.
Overall, I felt the interview process was pretty standard. I liked how everyone at ThousandEyes truly believed in their products. Although I ended up not accepting the offer, I believe in their future success and would recommend ThousandEyes to others.
