Usual process. The whole process took a couple of weeks, from first email to set a time for phone screening, and doing the screening. In comparison with other companies, the recruiter was slow in responding emails and scheduling.
I applied through a recruiter and got a response very quickly. They wanted me to interview within a week and I gave them slots in which I was available. A forty five minute phone interview was set up. And it began with general introductions, coding and then I asked the interviewer some questions about the company.
