I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at OpenTable (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2017
Interview
I applied online and was contacted via email to schedule an initial phone screen. Phone screen went well, and I was contacted within a few days again to schedule a phone interview with the hiring manager. I emailed back my preferred times and never received a response. I emailed again 5 days later and still never got a response. Very strange experience overall.
