I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at TechValidate Software (Emeryville, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
Hour long phone screen, 60% conversational, 40% technical. 2-3 hour design challenge, 5 hour onsite interview which was highly technical including 2 working team exercises. Very intellectually challenging lead interviewer -- not in a bad way.

Question 1
You have interest Product Management, this is a plus, but will you get bored with the design work?
