Applied online and received an email from one of their internal recruiters. She explained that since they were receiving so many applicants, they were using a coding challenge to filter out those that might not be qualified.

The challenge was a 3-hour-allotted test entirely in JavaScript, asking to write functions to solve three fairly trivial, non-real-world situations. Each had a description of the desired input and output, and tests attached that had to be passed. It was a fairly simple test, taking only about 2 hours.

Following that, I was informed that I passed on to a call with the recruiter where we chatted about the available positions that fit my skill set and my past experience, and typical first interview "get to know you" questions.

Following that, I was set up for a technical interview, which is where things went a bit sideways. The developer I met with clearly didn't want to be there and hadn't so much as glanced at my resume, portfolio, summary, or open source work on GitHub. The developer spent about 45 minutes asking pretty junior-level development questions that were from a prepared list and only vaguely engaging in conversation.

I was told before the technical interview that the follow-up would be a take-home project that would then be reviewed with a developer and possibly more technical interviews, but I withdrew before that point.
