I applied online and received an email a few weeks later from a recruiter for a technical phone interview, which lasted for an hour.
I got a response within days, they invited me to an onsite interview where they did two interviews ~45 each, coding on a provided laptop. I stumbled for a bit trying to find an efficient solution.
