I did their online challenge that had 3 questions. If you answer the questions correctly, then you get to email your job application. Then it is a phone screen. The it was an onsite interview.

Question 1
Something to do with the unix random number generator.
The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Greplin (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2011
Interview
Silly phone interview. Then in person at a typical SF warehouse space. Bottom line, desktop search never caught on, this won't either. Which is not to say it won't be bought and killed. Waste of time interview with people who don't know what they're doing.
