I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Appirio
Interview
I applied online, got an email reply asking to setup a phone screen. After the phone screen I was informed that I would advance to the next phase and I was scheduled for two phone interviews and a skills test. A few days after the phone interviews, I received another email scheduling me for two video interviews. Finally, I flew out to Indianapolis for four interviews at the Appirio offices. I received an offer about a week or so later. Process was very fair, they do a good job of keeping you informed as to what's going on and there weren't any gotchas.

Question 1
None of the questions were really all that difficult
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Appirio (Dallas, TX) in Sep 2013
Interview
The interview process was straightforward. There was a recruiter screening followed by a Telephone technical screen. I had to complete a Project in Salesforce. This was followed by another round of Technical interview. Surprisingly I was not invited onsite for any of the interview rounds.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Appirio (Indianapolis, IN) in Jul 2013
Interview
Let me start by saying this was one of the most grueling processes I have had. It took me 9 interviews to land the job (including the initial recruiter conversation). the first 2 interviews were via phone. The next 2 were via Google Hangout/Skype. Everyone I talked to was super easy to talk to and fun. I recall going over the time scheduled with one person because we hit it off so well and kept talking and going over things. It made me feel at ease and relaxed and it was not high pressure.
The people who interviewed me were all smart and knew their stuff. You could tell that a BS resume would easily be sniffed out. The last 5 interviews were 30 minute in person interviews in the Indianapolis office. I sat in a conference room and people took turns interviewing me. 2 of the interviews were technical and got into detailed information. The other 3 were more personality interviews. I got the feeling they were attempting to see if I fit into the team because I interviewed with people of all levels inside of my given specialty.
The office was a typical Silicon Valley IT feel. Laid back but professional. you could see them meant it when they talk about work life balance being important. I knew when it was over it was the place I wanted to work and hoped I would get a call back.
I had heard it was a difficult place to get hired onto and after 9 interviews I agree but it was worth it.
