I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Imply in Aug 2019
Interview
There was a take home problem followed by an on-site interview. The on-site interview was with 3 people with lunch at the start of the day.
Lunch was in the office with the rest of the company followed by a pretty standard interview panel which included a discussion of the previously submitted coding exercise.

Interview
The interview process involved one phone screen and then an onsite interview comprised of 4 one on one interviews; two technical coding interviews, high level system design (more talking versus white-boarding) and a chat with hiring manager.
It was fairly standard (other than the absence of a second phone screen).
Interviewers were respectful and nice to talk to.
