I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at BigCommerce (Austin, TX) in Nov 2011
Interview
I underwent an intensive process of online personality tests, technical tests, psychological tests, etc. After passing that section, I underwent a phone interview with a manager. Upon reaching the next step I Skyped (I lived in another state) with 3 team leads. Finally, after getting team lead approval, I once again Skyped, this time with the Vice President in charge of our department.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Many of the initial tests were very nerve-racking. They were somewhat unexpected and the technical tests in particular have to be near-perfect. The person-to-person interviews were fairly common job-interview type questionings, but everybody was easy to talk to and I was excited about the job so it seemed to make things go smoothly.

Interview
Consisted of a field call, technical assessment, build a store project, and onsite interview. The process was streamlined and stress-free for the most part. The onsite interviewers only asked behavioral and CV questions. My recruiter called me the same night of the onsite interview with an offer for the position.
