It took about 3 weeks before I heard back and was offered a first round interview conducted over google hangouts. This was around 30 minutes long and fairly straight forward consisting of competence base questions focused on current job and management styles. Make sure you have examples ready.

Interview
Weird interview cycle...They don't seem to know what they are doing in terms of recruitment. Applied through the website, got an interview scheduled but recruiter did not show up. Contacted again through email couple of weeks later and managed to talk with the recruiter. Another meeting with hiring manager for which i never received the outcome. Checked with recruiter couple of times with no response :) A company with this type of hiring practices is the one that you should be staying away...
