I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Smoothstack (Baltimore, MD) in May 2020
Interview
First, you take call with a recruiter to talk about your resume. The next step is a coding test with 4 questions ranging from difficult to hard in the language of your choice. Lastly, is a follow up technical interview with another recruiter covering more IT topics that was not bad at all.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the difference between symmetric and asymmetric encryption?
It was a quick and easy process: An online assessment, a webinar, a phone call, and one background Zoom call. They pretty much just tell you what the program consists of after you pass the first assessment.

Question 1
What are the four pillars of object-oriented programming?
Initial call with recruiter which was about 30 minutes, asked some basic behavioral questions. Went onto a virtual call interview where I had to answer some OOP questions and show off a project of mine. Got a temporary offer but they ghosted me.
You have to present a project of your choice after a round of technical interview questions from the employer. This person is usually not a hiring manager or manager at all but a person that specializes in interviewing. After this process you spend 2 weeks learning javascript and then present a project in javascript.
