I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at GitHub in Dec 2021
Interview
I applied online, and I received a take home assignment via email. The assignment was pretty straightforward and involved implementing some functionality in a simple CRUD-like application. They put a hard limit of 5 hours (limited by access to the repo) to do the assignment. I took about 4 hours to complete the assignment, and I did the assignment in JavaScript.
Afterwards, I received no correspondance for at least 2 weeks. I reached out, and they sent over an email to schedule an onsite. However, at that point I already had other offers on the table, and there was no time to squeeze the onsite in.
I didn't have any any face-to-face or phone call interaction with anyone. And they had not reviewed my code submission until I emailed they a couple weeks later. While I appreciated the lack of LeetCode questions, and testing for more practical skills, there was a definite lack of human interaction and communication on their end.
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 I was subsequently ghosted for 8 weeks, only getting a response when I emailed saying I'd withdrawn my application - to tell me that the team was being "rethought" and the job may not actually be available anymore but they'll let me know (they never did).
