I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Sprout Social (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2017
Interview
I found an internship job posting on Glassdoor and applied through their website. About a few days later, I received an email prompting me to complete a coding challenge. Please know that even know I was requesting to be a front-end intern, the questions are general software engineering questions with code being written in Java, Python, or C/C++. After completing this, a few weeks later I set up a call with one of the recruiters to have a brief chat about my background and resume. Here, I let my recruiter know that I was interested in front-end development. After another follow-up call a few months later, I was asked to fly out to Chicago for an onsite!
At the onsite interview, I had 4 back-to-back interviews concerning different aspects of front-end development. Everyone there is extremely nice and it's almost like having an intellectual discussion with peers. I had interviews over Javascript, UI design, my coding background and design approach. I only had to whiteboard my initial design for a website. During the interview process, I was given lunch and a tour of their awesome office. It was very easygoing and a good look into how working there would be like.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sprout Social in Apr 2019
Interview
Applied online and the recruiter called back. They have a two-step tech screen where the first step is a leetcode type of question about two arrays. Other reviews have covered that. Then after that step is a take-home test, where it's basically how well do you do React.js in 2019. The task is to build a twitter typeahead component where when you start typing a screen name, the supplied backend service will give possible suggestions. Then your component has to make that work. You're given the option to do it in vanilla JS as well, and if you're not top top top in React, I would highly suggest doing it in vanilla JS because it narrows the ability for them to just reject based on your React skills
