The screening process is thorough to say the least - it's infamous for a reason.
There are 3 video calls and 1 test in total. The fist video call consist of a basic question and answer. Then there's a timed quiz to test your knowledge, followed by a live coding component to validate your skill while a fellow developer watches and finally a project you will need to complete and submit.
Don't let that put you off though! I wasn't confident at first but ultimately I found the above to be a lot easier than I anticipated. So have some courage and back yourself! If you don't make it through you can reapply at a later date (3-6 months I believe).

The interview process was fast, but interview questions were irrelevant to the position. The coding task is easy, but the amount of time they give is enough to code the solution only if you code it correctly from the first attempt. No time for debugging etc. They also don't give you any hints whatsoever if you go the wrong way. May depend on the interviewer though.

Easy leetcode, but the amount of time is restricted.

The technical interview was a joke. The interviewer was not prepared at all. He dumped some links from the chat, which includes some source code then he asked me to bootstrap a web application and fix that code. To install the web application and copy/paste the code from the files and run the code almost took 10 mins. There was a chit/chat at the beginning of the interview about 20 mins. There is 30 mins left for the actual coding which is very limited.
The whole interview was in a rush. He was asking questions but he was not listening what i was talking about then ask another question completely different. He was just like reading a transcript. There was no time to read to code and he did not bother to tell anything about it. I got the impression they are trying to validate their claim to hire top %3 by intentionally make candidates fail providing a limited time and crappy interview. It was a waste of time and i would recommend anyone not to waste their time with this company.
