J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 4 jours. J'ai passé un entretien chez DialogTech (Chicago, IL) en juin 2015
Entretien
I had one thirty min screening interview with recruiter about more general stuff (eg project etc). That was then followed by a longer more technical interview about past projects with a developer, more high level type conversation. Finally I was brought in to talk with senior people (CEO meets every candidate) and do some white boarding. Overall they seemed like a really nice group.

Entretien
I will start out with the disclaimer that like many introverts, I am not particularly gifted at demonstrating my prowess as an engineer in technical screenings. Were I in the interviewer's shoes, I would not have passed me either.
That being said, I do not feel that they did much to set me up for success either. The technical screenings ranged from challenging to very difficult, depending on who I was speaking with.
Step one was a brief phone screening with the recruiter.
Step two was a phone technical screening with the Director of Professional Services. He was very friendly and I genuinely enjoyed our conversation.
Step three was a virtual "onsite" interview, which consisted of four back-to-back video calls with various engineers and members of management. Some of them were very clear about their expectations with me, such as having me talk through how I solve a problem, even if I don't arrive at the correct solution. Others tended to take a more interrogative tone and would ask open-ended questions without clear expectations, and then interrupt to ask me to answer differently.
There was no take-home challenge or live coding.
Again, I don't blame them for not passing me, but don't expect many softball questions. They put me through the wringer.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
There were some questions about projects listed on my resume, some questions about my career aspirations, some non-technical brain teasers, and some open-ended questions intended to probe my knowledge about particular technical topics (ex: DevOps, RESTful APIs, SQL queries).
