Initial phone call Take home assignment Follow-up phone call -- Mostly discussed coding practices. Then they showed me code samples and I showed them my code samples. They then asked that I perform a take-home assignment. I usually don't agree to these things as they tend to be a waste of time, but they offered to pay me $300 and promised it would only take about 3 hours. The take-home assignment actually took all weekend to complete even in the most minimal form. Seems part of the analysis was how I would respond to a client with big dreams and small budgets. During the follow-up interview they frequently complimented me on what a great job I did. They even paid me the $300 (less PayPal fees -- classy move). Then they vanished into the ether. If you value your time, I'd suggest staying away.

The process was pretty typical. Phone screen was done by HR with some lightly technical questions, followed by an interview with two other employees with technical questions having more of an architectural point of view. This was where the process ended. I interviewed in the middle of the week and was told that I would hear back by the end of the week. Come the end of the week I reached out to HR to request an update. I was told that one of the employees who had interviewed me was OOO the next week so things were a tad bit chaotic. I let them know that I needed to have some bit of an answer by the middle of the following week and I was told: "I'll try". Come two weeks later, from the last interview I had, I still haven't heard anything back.
