The process begins with a code test that takes approximately one hour.

Following this, there's a call with the recruiter to discuss standard topics and confirm agreeable terms regarding salary, location, and other relevant details.

Finally, a one-hour live coding interview will be conducted via video.

The initial code test was great.

I coded an implementation of JavaScript's setInterval function from scratch. It was a fun and useful code exercise.

The video chat code challenge was not.

It required creating a spiral loop over an NxN matrix. This problem has no real-world use cases and doesn't show nearly enough depth of your abilities. In my 10 years of coding, I have not once needed anything even close to this. I self-taught myself coding and have worked for Google, CNN, etc. It was a purely computer science question.

I believe they are missing out on good and diverse talent because they only target CS grads.
