After submitting a resume, I had a short phone interview with a recruiter, who then asked me to complete a "homework" assignment. This then led to a phone interview with the hiring manager, but I did not proceed to an in person interview.

Question 1
Asked questions about how I would deal with a real-world issue.
I applied online. I interviewed at Opower (London, England) in Nov 2014
Interview
One initial recruiter call, second call with manager and third series of meetings over 3 hours. They never got in touch to tell me they weren't progressing further after I spent over 4 hours talking to them, I didn't follow-up as I wasn't keen to proceed, but it felt like a test - if you don't prompt them then you are not interested. You really need to push them to let you know what is happening.

Question 1
Give an example of a problem that you have had and how did you handle this with the client
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Opower (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2014
Interview
The interview included an initial phone screen, first with the recruiter then the hiring manager. After that, I was brought in a for a full day of interviews (presentation, utility knowledge, Saas knowledge, project management, etc). The interview process was interesting, they left lots of time for questions, they pushed in different areas (it didn't feel repetitive)
