I was rejected during the remote onsite interview, in the first step which is a javascript test. You are asked to make a game. They tell you that the test is designed so that you can't finish it in 45 minutes and they tell you not to worry about finishing it. I won't say which game it was, but I went pretty far, and still I was rejected because I didn't go far enough for them. The only advice I received from the engineer that was assigned to me for this day was that I should have copy/pasted code instead of worrying about inheritance. So yeah, go fast even if you are being told that it doesn't matter too much, copy paste instead of focusing on code quality and be ready to potentially be rejected in less than a minute after a two months process. It can be brutal so be ready for it. I said the interview was difficult, but to be honest, it felt really easy until the onsite. My experience was negative because the feedback didn't make sense to me and because it was, again, so long. The people I met were nice overall though. But I wouldn't want to through this whole process again. Good luck to other candidates!

After the initial screen with the manager, I was give a take-home challenge, which I submitted after a couple weeks. The challenge was to create a basic web application using PHP, JavaScript and the Expensify API (with no page refreshes), which allows a user to: authenticate to an account, download existing transactions, and create new transactions. Part of the challenge was dealing with an incomplete or ambiguous specification. I had to host the finished solution such as AWS or Heroku. I submitted my solution, but it was rejected because I was told that my solution was over-engineered and that I use single line functions. Most of the feedback I received was nitpicking not about substantial issues. It was mostly about subjective issues like using single-line function, leaving unnecessary comments, etc. It was just a complete waste of my time, where I spent two weeks preparing the simple web application.
