I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Vrbo (London, England) in Feb 2018
Interview
I was interviewed by 3 mid-level js developers that thought they were principal engineers. They asked me all kind of questions that had little or nothing to do with the job spec. My first impression was: these guys are complete amateurs.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Vrbo (London, England) in Oct 2016

The entire process lasted around 2 weeks, from online application to signed contract.
