I applied through university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at shopkick (Palo Alto, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
Good time with all interviewers, until the CTO had a bad attitude. That was a total turnoff to the whole company. Life's too short to spend with a not very nice person in charge.
I applied through university. I interviewed at shopkick in May 2017
Interview

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at shopkick
Interview
Was referred by an employee. After a couple of days got a call from the recruiter. After about 1 week, we schedule a technical screen. I was interviewed by a product manager(!) and not by an engineer. After a couple of days, they reached out and say that I passed the interview, and asked for dates for an onsite interview. I provided some dates and waited. After a week or so I got an email from the recruiter saying that my background is not a match to the position, without any apology for me wasting my time. Really rude.
