I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AppNexus in Sept 2013
Interview
It was a typical interview process. I was contacted by a recruiter and given a few problems to solve. They were not too bad and there was no time limit. After submitting the problems, I was contacted by the same recruiter that I was moving further in the process. I had two phone interviews which one asked my various computer science questions and another that went over my solutions to the problem. After the phone interviews, they flew me out for a full day of interviewing (I MEAN A FULL DAY OF INTERVIEWING).... I was then told I would hear back from them in a few days.

Question 1
There weren't really difficult questions as long as you have a solid cs background.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at AppNexus (Portland, OR) in May 2018
Interview
Painfully boring and lengthy phone call. This was not an interview, it was an interrogation. Seriously one of the most boring phone calls I've ever had. The hiring manager seemed like he'd never done an interview in his life.

Question 1
Lots of questions about basic javascript stuff, way under my pay grade.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AppNexus (New York, NY)
Interview
One phone screen interview and 4 on-site interviews (coding, algorithm oriented & behavioral). Interviews were of average difficulty but dealt a lot with optimized algorithm oriented. Friendly visit to the office, stocked kitchens/cafeteria - Had a fun day interviewing!
I applied online. I interviewed at AppNexus (New York, NY) in Feb 2018
Interview
It was a phone screen. I talked to a technical guy, who asked a few reasonable questions. He was polite and patient. I managed to answer the questions. There was also a coding part, which I screwed up -- made a few mistakes on the way. Not to sound like an excuse, but it is probably because it was my first time coding on a white board.
The man was patient and helpful. Seems that it is no so bad, when you know how to approach it and usually they help you a bit, because it seems they are also human, not acting like robots.
Maybe because of these mistakes I did not get to the next stage, but it is a good lesson for md too -- need to practice apparently.

Question 1
Implement one of the string to number conversion functions or number to string on a while board online. Pretty simple for a good 1/2 hour work.
