I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at GitHub
Interview
After applying got an automatic email with a link to a coding exercise. A simple Rails app with a bunch of tests which has to be fixed. Not difficult certainly but time consuming, it took me almost 5 hours to complete.
Then a quick call from recruiter followed with a quick call with hiring manager. More like introduction/general question calls than interviews.
After than first round - a) technical discussion related to the coding exercise b) leadership interview
After this round which I felt like went fine I received automatic rejection email with no comments.

Question 1

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at GitHub (London, England) in Sept 2025
Interview
First stage recruiter call (45 minutes) which went well, both sides confirmed we'd like to progress to the next stage and the process was outlined. I was subsequently ghosted for 8 weeks, only getting a response when I emailed saying I'd withdrawn my application - to tell me that the team was being "rethought" and the job may not actually be available anymore but they'll let me know (they never did).
