I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Affirm (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2018
Interview
1 Hackerrank + 2 Phone Screens + Onsite (3 technical interviews, a product demo, and a hiring manager interview)
The hackerrank was probably one of the most difficult hackerranks I have ever done. But I thought the phone screens and the onsite was reasonable. Everyone was really nice and the recruiters followed up very quickly.

All the process took month. Soft interviews were nice, interviewers were talkative and it wasn't a cold proccess. Technical part was hard for me cause I don't have any real experience or school I do and learn everything by myself.
