Process
I applied through Glassdoor.
Within two days, I was contacted by their recruiter.
Shortly thereafter, I received a link to their GitHub with a skeleton app.
My pair programming interview was scheduled one week after that.
Questions
The interview consisted of writing an app by extending and filling in missing code in the skeleton app.
