Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week.
I was contacted by a recruiter because he had seen my code on GitHub. I had an introductory interview with another recruiter, which took about 1 hour. I was asked generic non-technical questions and was asked to provide my GitHub work again. I received a generic "thank you for your time" email after a week.
