I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Jumpcut (Remote, OR) in Jan 2019
Interview
The interview went well, they were really nice people especially the cofounder. I love the fact that they value your time by paying you for every hour you spent on the technical interview
Hi there, it’s Peter. Thanks for leaving a review!
I’m glad to know you had a positive experience and I hope you found the time you spent interviewing with us to be valuable. Best of luck with your search and future professional endeavors!

The process was unnecessarily long and had very little regard for the candidates time. The process consisted of 4 interviews -- two technical via skype, one more for fit, and an office interview that lasted an entire day. The office interview was a continuation of one of the technical interview problems from the Skype rounds, wherein I was asked to come in and sit in their office for several hours and build upon a strangely structured NodeJS/Express application. Unfortunately, what was explained verbally and what was explained in the README for building the application differed, and as a result, required a complete refactor halfway through the process. Additionally, in the middle of developing, I was asked to have another interview with one of the engineers.
If you currently have a job, steer clear of this company as it is not worth calling off work for. While the company boasts about hiring the best, I can't say that I was very impressed.
