I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at MetaCommunications (Iowa City, IA) in Sep 2015
Interview
It was what imagine would be a typical 'technical interview' for programming. I was given some problems to solve using the programming language of my choice.
I was asked to manipulate some data using a programming language of my choice. They didn't require that I use JavaScript, seemed more interested in my ability to program in general than specific 'fluency' in JavaScript.

Question 1
It took them a while to get back to me after I applied; by the time I heard back I had almost forgotten I had applied. But the HR person apologized for the delay, and was helpful/courteous/professional when making the arrangements for the interview.
I was not offered a job, but was encouraged to re-apply when I finish school, which I may do. Overall it was a positive experience and it gave me a good impression of the company.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at MetaCommunications (Iowa City, IA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Sat down with the lead of the team for about an hour. Before my interview they sent me a link to a coursea website all about Javascript. I had to do things like list out numbers 1-100 dividable by 3. Then put them all on one horizontal line, then remove the commas between the numbers etc etc. Apparently they want a can-do attitude that I did not display.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at MetaCommunications (Iowa City, IA) in Aug 2015
Interview
1st interview covered previous experience (education/working) and included simple coding questions (in JavaScript). The interview lasted about 1 1/2 hours.
2nd interview was more technically in-depth. I was given links prior to the interview to JavaScript libraries the company uses in their software packages. At the interview, I was tasked to utilize the Google Maps API and their libraries to drop a pin at their home office. I was given 2 hours to complete the task and used the full time.
I was emailed 3 weeks later saying an offer would not be extended.
