I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Smartsheet (Bellevue, WA) in Dec 2018
Interview
The interview process was everything I'd expected. Below are the four parts of the on-site.
1. LC easy question/behavioral
2. LC med question
3. More practical question that had to do with the Smartsheet application
4. Object Oriented Design
The interviewers were all very friendly and the object oriented design interviewer treated the session more like a discussion than a test.

Question 1
The LC easy question was a string related question. The LC med question had to do with trees. And the object oriented question was very standard, how to design parking spaces.
Difficult but it went well. there weren't as many technical questions as i was expecting, but it was clear the technical questions asked were relevant to the specific role i applied for.

Interview
Recruiter told me the interview would be:
10 min intro
40 min 1 - 2 coding problems
10 min wrap up. I ask questions.
When I got onto the video call with the interviewer she did not give the overview "this is how this will go." After brief introductions she asked me a values based question. I had no idea if there was a coding question next and how much time we are supposed to leave for it. Then we got to the coding problem.
Informal interview which would have been followed by 3 short interviews then finally a culture fit interview. I don't know much besides this as i didn't get past the first stage.

Question 1
It seemed like it was the interviewers first or second interview. A few questions about my experiences and then a very very basic coderpad which I solved after providing a couple of potential solutions. The interviewer asked me the complexity of the algorithm and he didn't really seem to understand complexity analysis which made the whole thing a bit awkward
