I was reached out to by the recruiter who was very friendly and professional. I then was told there would be a meeting with the hiring manager. I attended the meeting and no one was there. I followed up with the recruiter and they said they would look into it but never responded back after.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Minted in Sept 2021
Interview
The process consists of a screening call with the HR, then another call with a lead engineer, then they sent me a hacker Rank link to solve, after that they asked me to attend a series of interviews in the same day.

Question 1
There was a problem similar to the matrix islands, you need to solve it in 30 or 45 minutes on a whiteboard and without a debugger. (mission impossible lol).
The hackerRank should be fairly easier and with unlimited time, you just need to know how to call api, use joins on a sql query, playing with strings and doing the sort..
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Minted (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2018
Interview
The whole interview process was pretty straightforward and standard. Had an initial call with the recruiter, she was very friendly and informative about the underlying role, expectations and interview process.
First interview was a 45 mins technical phone screen via Karat.com. This was followed by a 30 mins call with the hiring manager. In couple of days I was invited onsite for a day long round of interviews.
Onsite interviews were a total of 4 and lunch, these were a mixture of white-board coding challenges, system design questions, day to day work scenarios, general experience queries and a culture fit round.
The whole process took 2-3 weeks.
