Interviewed Jun 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 3 days)
The most unprofessional interview process I've ever come across:
At first the process was interesting and challenging. An initial phone interview followed by a one on one meeting in which the "non-conventional" questions that you see on glassdoor were asked (Example: if you were a gladiator and had to choose either a sword and a shield or a net and a trident, which would you choose and why).
After passing through these steps, I was notified that my final interview would be with one of the founders of the company. He called and said that I should show up at a location outside their new office, as finding the office inside the building is difficult. He told me to call him when I arrived so that he could let me in and do the interview.
I showed up early, gave him a call, and got no answer. Figuring he was busy, I waited around for a bit before giving him another call and leaving a message. Still no answer. I decided to call his cell number, which was included with his contact information, and left a message. More time went by without a reply.
At this point I'm a few minutes late, having stood outside the entire time, so I decided to go in the building and find the office. I asked a tenant and was directed where to go.
Once inside, I was helped by an employee and told them I was there for an interview. The woman in charge soon came over and asked me questions about when I had been scheduled to interview, who I was supposed to meet with, etc. She left me while she went to find out what the situation was.
She later came back and said that she would do the interview herself. The guy that was supposed to interview me had left for Las Vegas. As the interview began, it was obvious that she had no clue as to where I was in the interview process and treated me like it was my first interview there, rather than my last. I instantly got the feeling like she was put in an situation just as uncomfortable as mine, having an interview candidate thrown into her lap, and I felt as though the interview wasn't of any significance, as she was not the person to make the decision.
I was later informed that, although performing extremely well on the initial interview rounds, I was not offered a position. I explained to the hiring manager that the situation was uncomfortable, and she acted as though she didn't realize what had happened (whether this is true or not, I don't know).
Nobody called to apologize. My situation made me feel as though the sentiments reflected on glassdoor of VonChurch being arrogant are true. Imagine bringing on a new teammate and forgetting about them completely without any sense of remorse. Although I cannot vouch for working withing VonChurch, I can say that my initial impressions of the company aren't favorable.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took 3 weeks)
It was fairly informal. I was asked questions that focused more on "chemistry fit" than an actual skills assessment. They will ask about your personal life, if you like to go out, etc. and then talk about how they like to go out. They might invite you to play beer pong.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
There was no negotiation process. I'd ask to see their commission plan in writing upon receipt of offer because they have a tendency to change it on a whim.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 3 days)
I interviewed with several people throughout the day regarding my previous experiences and how they might be applicable to my future role. They also wanted to make sure that I was a good "cultural fit" based on my out-goingness and ability to drink.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
I thought my interview with Ale was by far one of the best inerviews I've ever had! It had such an interesting mix of off the wall questions and tasks that really made the interview fun. I can see how it really allows the interviewer to get an inside look at the candidate's thought processes and personality. I will never forget this interview and will definitely remember the questions and format to use myself, should my next career involve recruiting!

Wow.
These guys gave an interview and a half.
I walked in, sat down and was then met by a lady who mentioned VonChurch interview by values. The questions were fast and at first oddball and then as I relaxed I found that it was highly enjoyable. I walked away a bit dazed but appreciated the time and interest in thought process.
I did not get the role but feel better prepared for other interviews.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took 2 weeks)
Probably the most awkward and uncomfortable I've ever been in an interview.
Suggested wardrobe to better your chances-skinny jeans, plaid shirt and knit beanie.
I made the fatal mistake of wearing a suit to the interview and the minute I walked in, I knew it was a fail! If I've ever been profiled & judged by an employer based soley on my attire, that was it. It was so blatant that the minute walked through that door and saw those piercing stares in my direction, I knew this would not go over very well and strongly considered bailing all together but I sucked it up.
After waiting a long 5 minutes i was taken to what looked more like a storage room where I sat on a rink-dink pink plastic chair as the girl across from me proceeded to bombard me...i repeat, bombard me with question after question. After about the 2nd question and this girls stern demeanor, I knew that it was to going to be a fit and anxious to get out of there. She finally ended the interview maybe 10 minutes tops........ and not more than a couple hours later I received the courtesy "decline" email.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 2 weeks)
I did an initial phone screen then was invited in for an interview. I met with one person first and then was encouraged to go around the room and talk to everyone. Overall, the interview was fine. But, I was definitely not appropriately prepared beforehand. I was asked a lot of questions that didn't directly relate to the role.
