I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Glassdoor in Aug 2014
Interview
Interview span was about 30 days. First one was with the hiring manager which was quite detailed and extensive (about an hour). After that one more phone interview. I was then called for an on-site for 4 hours which on my request was split into two days. It was good that they were flexible. I interviewed with about 6 people from different departments.

Question 1
I guess the difficulty level was not an issue for me. However, I felt the questions were very detailed. Maybe its because I have been doing this type of work for a long time so it was obvious to me but I can understand why they were vetting me so hard.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Glassdoor
Interview
Got connected through networking. I went in for an informational interview and they person was very rude. He was late and was not helpful in answering questions.
It's a standard interview though. Walk me through your resume, tell me about a time when you worked in a team, created a strategy, etc. I think if you prepare for a consulting interview or if you come from a consulting background, you will be all right. That's the kind of background they prefer so I wouldn't bother applying if you are much diff. than that.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Glassdoor (Sausalito, CA) in Oct 2014
Interview
Initial phone interview with HR, then hiring manager. Manager sent a "homework" case study for analysis, and a couple of phone interviews with the data science team. I was flown in for a final interview, consisting of five hour-long sessions with the data science team and individuals who would work closely with the role.
The entire process lasts around two or three weeks. Glassdoor communicates well throughout the process, but in my experience, you don't get any feedback on why you were not selected. I felt I had a great interview process, received good marks on the case study, and quickly grasped the domain knowledge (which I didn't have a previous background in). However, I didn't get an offer or feedback on why I wasn't selected.
Companies aren't required to do so, but my interviewing experience has been that valuable feedback is generally given, and allows a candidate to focus on specific areas if they want to interview down the road or enter the market. The employees are very friendly, and it was overall a good experience.

Question 1
How would you test if survey responses were filled at random by certain individuals, as opposed to truthful selections?
