I applied online, and the process took over a week.
I was contacted via LinkedIn. I applied over the link that I received from the recruiter. One work day later, I was informed my screening process was done. I was given a personality test of 28 questions, which took about 10 minutes, along with six behavioral, IQ, and IT knowledge tests. I did screw up on a couple of questions, as I found the 30 minutes per test to not really be enough. Two work days after submitting the final test, I was politely told I was declined, which made me really sad. What I think is great is that they are not testing your Python or other technology knowledge. They are not looking for a lamp to be plugged near a table and lit until burned or replaced by a better lamp. They are testing your way of thinking. They want problem-solvers. I really like that. However, you basically cannot prepare. You need to understand an unfamiliar concept fast and bend it to your will.
I won't reveal the questions, nor could I, because they are really specific.
