I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at EarnUp (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2017
Interview
1. Phone screen with talent guy, Paul.
2. Remote technical/screenshare with engineer. Easy-medium algorithm problem, I would say.
3. Half-day onsite interview. Talent guy was very welcoming and organized through the whole process.
I enjoyed talking to Paul, one of the engineers, and one of the founders, but some of the other engineers were unpleasant. One of them corrected me on my pronunciation of Eratosthenes' sieve -- I speak Greek dude, lol. I would suggest getting rid of the "getting to know each other" activity because I don't see the point of trying to bond with people if there's a good chance I won't see them again.
Anyways, it was mostly a lot of whiteboarding which I think is pretty useless for figuring out someone's software dev abilities. The engineers obviously didn't communicate with each other because the difficulty level was all over the place and they asked me the same problems they had asked in the previous video call.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at EarnUp (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2020
Interview
Phone screen with Engineering VP about experience, what EarnUp is about and their revenue model, and simple React and web dev questions, then coding assignment to build a chat app in React.
Applied through recruiter. Took weeks before he responded and it was, sorry, you don't have enough experience. He was condescending and rude after having me wait without asking a single technical question.
