I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Appirio (Indianapolis, IN) in Nov 2014
Interview
I got in touch with a recruiter who I used to work with, and was accelerated to a phone screen with the hiring manager. Apparently she liked me (although thought I was too independent), so I was once again accelerated to the tech exercise (you will spend a full day on this if you do your job, but you can ask to do this over the weekend). Since I filmed a video of my tech solution, my next round was a breeze. Apparently they were impressed, hence flew me out to Indiana for a final screen with 4 people.
Everyone was very brand - cenrtic, complete with swag and pitches of why Appirio has the best culture. Since I had 2 offers, I asked probing questions. Apparently that did not go over so well (see "too independent" comment above).
The feedback I received is that even though I passed the skills portion with flying colors, they couldn't get a read on how I would work with their team. I still think of Stepford Wives when I recall that situation.
If you interview with them, be sure to emphasize how excited you are about the opportunity and how much you *love* teamwork.
I have to note that while some interviewers acted like Appirio is god's gift, the recruiting team is very timely and was a pleasure to coordinate with.
Thank you for this feedback. If you would be open to reaching out to discuss further I would be happy to talk to you. You can reach me at jbarker@appirio.com
