I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Fiksu (Boston, MA) in Oct 2013
Interview
The interview process consisted of an HR phone screen, an onsite interview with a single Product Manager, a second onsite interview with more of the Product Management team.
There were some basic Product Management / Project Lifecycle questions. Each interviewer had his/her own style, and some of the questions overlapped.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Fiksu (Boston, MA) in Apr 2015
Interview
Brief phone interview, followed by a codeshare skype interview. Did well enough on those two to have a superday at the office. The employees seemed tired and disinterested in me. We did some classic coding questions like a method to return fibonnaci numbers. Didn't get the offer, but the office seemed pretty nice.

Recursive and iterative methods that return fibonnacci numbers

Interview
Incredibly positive experience! Two rounds meeting with 4 people each. They recently went through a re-org so there was a little bit of confusion as to who I'd be reporting into. During the first round I was given a case study that involved answering mathematical/analytical questions and giving insights based on my findings.
What I am most impressed with is how organized everyone was! Every single person came prepared with my resumé and asked very educated questions. A far cry from previous interviews I had been on!
I asked some very pointed questions concerning their IPO and past over-hiring practices and they answered very candidly and honestly, which I was impressed by.
The only reason I did not accept the job was because I received another offer for more money (not a comparable position), but I would certainly refer any of my friends here! Everyone is super friendly and smart. Great company!
