I applied through university. I interviewed at OpenTable (London, England) in Mar 2019
Interview
Applied through university. After getting past CV and cover letter screening, you are sent a take-home coding assignment to do in the language of your choosing, and then upload to GitHub. If your submission is accepted you're invited to an interview. Three interviews:
1. Pair programming style interview, to improve on your submission for the take-home coding assignment.
2. White board data structures and algorithms interview. Easy to Medium level Leetcode question.
3. HR interview. About you and what you can bring to the company.
Staff were all very friendly and interview process was enjoyable.
The product seems interesting, but the HR person complained about their work and didn't know how to answer basic questions about the team during the interview. I got a generic rejection a few weeks later.

Interview
It was smooth however they failed to inform what was the nature of the interview. I assumed it to be a screening /behavioral interview but it turned out to be a technical coding interview
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at OpenTable (London, England)
Interview
The interview began with a phone call with hiring manager where my interest to apply and past experiences were gauged . Followed by a take home coding test . After the coding test was submitted , I had three to four rounds of interview speaking to future team mates and one pair programming session related to the coding task , then a chat with the PM , hiring manager and another manager . Although the interview took long it was great experience meeting really great people. The whole process was great and didn't feel like I was being tested but the interview was conducted with an approach of getting to know the candidate
