I applied online. I interviewed at Pocket Gems (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
Round #1 phone interview. Started with 2 coding questions that lasted about 60 minutes. The first one is to find the first index of a target string in a source string. The second is to parse a ternary to a binary tree and return the root. 5 minutes chatting with the interviewer.
I received an email from an HR after participating in an online competition. The first round was an online coding interview with an engineer from their team. I did not go beyond the telephonic round.

OA with 2 medium problems & a code review, 1-hour 1st round technical interview followed by 3 consecutive 1-hour technical interviews.
The interviewers were all super nice. They were willing to work together towards a solution when I needed some subtle hints. They were very polite, engaged and eager to chat.
Got the offer pretty shortly after my last interview
