I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks.

There was no HR screening, and I directly got an email for a coding interview. The coding interview started with an interviewer asking me to write a method to check if a player is eligible for purchasing cards with points, and then write another method to actually purchase cards with points. I did both, and then the Asian interviewer asked to add a feature to track more information for the player, and to create a Player object at the end after running out of time. I could have started with this part in the first place. Adding a feature following best practices by adding a new file to create the new object while on HackerRank was the last thing I could think of during coding interviews.

Despite being a five-day on-site role, I applied regardless because their office was closer to where I live, but it was a total waste of time. Even the recruiter didn't waste theirs as there was no screening. So the recruiter is the winner here. Also, while researching, I noticed that most of them belong to a certain similar demographic, including the interviewer and the recruiter. I am not sure if there's any correlation there.
