Process
Applied online.
Was reached out to by the hiring manager.
Completed a written technical assessment.
Didn't hear back until at least a month later, with them asking, "Hey, are you still available?"
Arranged an online technical screen.
The software engineer conducting the screen was pretty cold, uninterested, and not very helpful.
