I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at BrightRoll in Oct 2014
Interview
I had first a phone interview with HR in their California office, then a second phone interview with the regional office in Toronto. They happened within the same week.
In the first interview, there were many skills-related questions (if you even want to call them "skills-related") such as what is CTR? what is a pivot table? They weren't skills-related, she wanted me to be a dictionary. She judged me very quickly and her attitude was extremely rude.
The second phone interview was with my potential manager, but his behaviour was very discriminatory. From the beginning he assumed I am not qualified but proceeded with the 30-minute interview anyways.
Both phone interviews had awful quality, I could hardly hear due to echoes from their end. It felt like they turned on speaker phone and there may be other people present. They don't conduct in-person interviews however their screening questions are ridiculous and tedious. They judge you on how confident/fast you can answer their "skills"-related questions. Honestly if this is how they judge people then I am happy I am not a part of this company.

Interview
I applied through linkedin. The recruiter reached out and set up interviews within one day of me applying. I met with the Head of Business Development within a week. He asked general questions about why Brightroll as well as questions about what I had to offer.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BrightRoll (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2011
Interview
Disorganized and silly. I was interviewed by a panel of engineers and executives who frequently asked the same questions and were often late. I knew very early in the interview to steer clear of Brightroll, but thought I'd have some fun with the interview in the process. There was a break for lunch in which I had enough time to down two pints while admiring the looks of horror on my interviewers' faces across the table.
