I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Xradia (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2016
Interview
I got a call from the senior manager. He spent most of the time asking about my laboratory experience which was related to the company products (X-ray microscopes). It is basically a skill assessment process. The manager also spent a good amount of time introducing their line of products.

The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Xradia (Concord, CA) in Sep 2009
Interview
Everything was very professional from the beginning. Well organized and very quick turnaround for a smaller company. Very impressed the level of the people (many PhDs) and the promising technology. Definately a company in growth mode that will go a long way. The interviews were not structured though and each interviewer did their own thing to access me as a candidate.
