I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Happy Returns (Santa Monica, CA) in Nov 2019
Interview
It was essentially one coding challenge and some talk time. It did not feel as though there was a lot of structure to the interview, and the people were not very enthusiastic.
First step is an online coding assessment. 3 questions and one hour so managing time is more difficult than actually coding for the questions. Questions are pretty easy and not much of a challenge.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Array manipulation, string comparison, data processing

Interview
60 min HackerRank coding assessment with three questions. Make sure to pay attention to the clock, as I ran out of time reaching the last question. It naturally made reading and solving the final problem harder, even though it was fairly straightforward.
