Colloquio
Was contacted by recruiter on LinkedIn. The posting hadn't appeared online yet. We arranged a phone screening, followed by one-on-one live video chat interview with the front end team lead. The initial conversation was more behavioural and personal-history oriented. The second part was a tech test done on a Google doc with both short answers and spoken word answers.
Unfortunately the HR person hadn't been over my resume specifically, and told me the interview wasn't technical. My skillset was mismatched for the technical stack they were looking for. This made for an unproductive and awkward interview.

Colloquio
Friendly call with HR, then immediately thrown a project where the expectations were confusing and not entirely front end (it was latent algos, and not actually looking to see UI implementation). The project was far too challenging for the time given and demanded more time than they expected.
It was also rather disappointing they didn't focus on personal/culture fit on relevant team first - HR subtly collected key hiring metrics etc, and then thrown to be evaluated on engineering ability. I don't recommend interviewing at this company.
Just because the company has some unicorn status with some massive valuation, doesn't mean they will treat you well. Interview process revealed exactly this.
Make an algorithm that solves unit testing, XSS vulnerabilities and complex linked/nested string replacement with proper fall backs (oh and fix CORS issues along with installing testing dependencies for the project).
