I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Pocket Gems in Nov 2017
Interview
Got an email with a link to and online challenge, although the email specified that i could email that person in contact if i have any questions, the person was not responsive at all. I never got a reply to my emails. The online challenge had 2 questions which were to be done in 30 min. Not passing all the tests in both problems equals an immediate rejection

I applied online. After about 2 weeks, I got the online assessment. Then, I took two phone screens. I had my onsite interview on Nov. After onsite, I got the offer. It's a long way to get the offer. The problem varies in difficulty each round.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Pocket Gems (Pittsburgh, PA) in Oct 2017

First the online assessment, then two round phone interviews. The online assessment takes about 40 mins to finish, and the two phone interviews each takes about 1 hour. Even though I have successfully answered the two questions, I am still declined in the next week.
