I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at General Assembly
Interview
Applied online, the next day I got a very friendly email about how excited they were to talk to me. The phone interview was dead cold. The guy wasn't interested at all in what I had to say, and sounded bored. He had one word answers to my questions and didn't seem to care about my answers to his questions. He clearly hated his job, and wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone, I felt like I was wasting his time.
I had another offer that I was holding off on accepting because I really love GA as a company - I'm a former student, and GA was my first choice. I accepted the other offer as soon as I hung up the phone, because this guy totally turned me off. Why would I want to work at a place that clearly crushed this guy's spirit? GA, do something to make your recruiters happier because I'm sure I'm not the only prospective talent that has been repelled by your staff.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What percentage of your experience has been B2B vs B2C?
Recruiter Screen followed by a series of internal interviews. Generally there is a hiring task (nothing crazy) and some internal stakeholder interviews, around 30 minutes. Very cross functional interview process for leadership roles.

Question 1
What's a mistake you made in the past and how did you handle it?
A few days after applying, I was contacted by a recruiter and asked to share some times I would be available for a phone call. I provided my availability and never heard back, even after I wrote the recruiter a couple of follow-up emails. Disappointing.
