I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cozi (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2018
Interview
Starts with contact by a recruiter. There is a short phone screen, a coding problem over the phone, a 'take-home' assignment, and then a 5 hour long on-site interview process with ~3 or 4 separate interview portions. Despite good performance on these, my level of seniority - available from the beginning via a quick look at my resume - was the deciding factor.

Question 1
Based on a short spec, build a templating engine ala Moustache in your language of choice.
Implement a function that takes a given string, capitalizes the first letter and returns a a11y / I18n style string - first letter, number of characters in between, last letter. Then, modify it to make it so that it accepts a parameter that is how many letters on either side of the number in the middle to include. (for example, a11y and I18n both have n=1, as only the first and last letter of each are included.)
Given a set of students in a classroom, where each student carries the information of whether they are sick or not and a list of students that they spread their sickness to, determine the singular student who was originally sick.

Interview
Homework problem followed by on-site. I felt I had nailed the on-site and was excited because I thought surely I would get a hired. I liked the people and they seemed to be a relaxed place that values work life balance. I was turned down based on my background. So, why did they interview me in the first place? Probably a brain-scrape. Big waste of time. Depressing.
