I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AKUNA CAPITAL (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2015
Interview
Applied at a career fair, then took an online assessment. Later had a half hour technical phone interview, then was told they wanted to interview me on-site.
There, I talked with HR and a few developers. With HR, I talked about myself some and basic things like past projects and such. Then it was time for developer interviews. The first asked me a couple software questions, which weren't hard and I got through them fine. The others asked very hardware-related questions which I was not expecting at all (although I admittedly should know).
Overall, everything felt very rushed, with me travelling there in the morning, doing a quick 3 hour interview, and then sending me down in the afternoon. The interview's midpoint was just about noon and they provided nothing to eat the whole time (although one developer said if I didn't have any other questions, he was going to end early to go get lunch!). I just got a bad vibe from them compared to how well similar companies in the area/field treat interviewees.

Interview
You get a technical OA which I am guessing is automatic, then interview rounds leading to fly out to Chicago for an in person interview presumably whiteboard style but I didn't make it to in person

Question 1
There was a hard C++ LC question for the OA so you get filtered out from that if you're not ready, then the interview process isn't too hard but the technical aspects are
45 mins includes a self introduction and three hacker rank questions, two standard ones, one LRU. Hackerrank questions are usually long and need some time to understand unlike straightforward leetcode style.
