I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at AppFolio (Santa Barbara, CA) in Oct 2019
Interview
1. Initial phone call with the recruiter. It was a nice conversation. Then he scheduled a Phone interview with a Senior Engineer.
2. Phone Interview: (60minutes) 10-15mins of chat about my background and experience. Then I was given a scenario related to their software. It was OO design and then I needed to code it with some test cases.
