Send and received a few emails. Then I had to complete a coding exercise.: Make requests to an API and build a basic site with that data. I was able to work on it during a weekend. Then another interview with questions about the code I wrote.

As others have described, the pre-screening interview is a list of 20 question (which makes it a lot more time-consuming for person being interviewed) and that's it, that's as a far as I got. The person who sent the questions said that different Recruiter would reach out. They did not. Actually, they made a mistake and sent me the Java test but then sent an email saying it was a mistake, they directed me to disregard the test.
If you want to apply and risk wasting your time, go ahead, apply. Otherwise, I advice not move forward with any interview with this company, their pre-screening is supposed to be geared towards avoiding waste of time for both parts but it is clear it is just a "them" thing, they don't care about your time. You can only imagine what must be like once you get hired, if you get hired that is.

Instead of a phone screen, they send over 20+ questions for you to answer over a wide range of subjects, but essentially a phone screen. After you'll get a coding exercise to show your skills. As several other have mentioned it involves making some API requests and populating a UI with the data. They give you 5 days or so to complete, telling you to put as much time into it as you want. I returned the exercise and never heard back. Never once got to speak to an actual person.
