I applied online. I interviewed at Rewards Network (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2019
Interview
First, a phone screen with a recruiter, and then a one on one with my potential manager, and then a one on one with the VP of Product.
Last was a (pre-covid) in person interview with several groups: the partner team, development team, CTO, and finally my manager.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rewards Network (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2021
Interview
It was a super long process with little transparency. I thought it was just three rounds but it was 5 rounds over a month...to which they GHOSTED me. I enjoyed most of the people and conversations but being ghosted left a bad taste in my mouth. Luckily, I had an offer right around the end of this process.
