I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Eightfold
Interview
First just let me say that the co-founder is awesome and really inspiring. If you're reading this Varun, You're amazing. Other than that, the whole interview was a waste of time. False advertisement for a frontend engineer but they wanted a full stack.
Was contacted on linkedin by the CTO for a UI position in reactjs. I clarified with the him that I have no used react in a while and I ONLY DO FRONTEND (this part is important). He said it was okay and he was looking for a sole-ly frontend engineer to own certain features and components. I agree to interview so he gave me a take home project to do and expected it to be done within 24 hours. I finished, and they brought me on site.
CTO had to be schedule away and couldn't meet with me. So i interview with the team during the on-site. Co-founder brought me back next week to discuss company road map and wanted me to meet with CTO first afterwards. Another week pass and I meet with CTO. CTO tells me he's looking for someone who can do all parts of the stack and not just a front-end person..
... Why waste my time like that. This process took 3 weeks with 3 on-sites eating a lot of my time. If you wanted a full-stack engineer, please do not reach out to front-end engineers and advertising a front end position even when they told you they only do frontend.
Other than that, they all seem like good people.

Extremely disrespectful recruiter. She shouted at me saying, "I don't know what the latest technologies are". Why was I called in the first place then? I would not even recommend entertaining a phone screen with this company
Started with recruiter doing cold call. Then initial manager vetting with project deep dive, followed by system design and coding. Chat with skip level manager, mostly selling and team fitting.
