I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hopper in Sep 2021
Interview
I got contacted on Linkedin and then passed an interview, 1.5h technical coding.
The coding was to code a non-trivial piece of code in Python, I then had the time to ask a few questions.
I was ghosted at the end... That sucks.

Question 1
Coding a non-trivial serializer/deserializer in Python
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hopper
Interview
Regular screening call followed by a case study and a call with the hiring manager.
Think twice before spending time putting this together.
I felt like they just wanted my feedback as free consulting. No feedback whatsoever on the case study I sent.
Hiring manager didn't even make introductions or asked questions to get to know me a bit as a candidate and just jumped directly into nonstop questions.

Question 1
Case study with questions after you download the app
I applied online. I interviewed at Hopper in Feb 2022
Interview
1. Applied online
2. Phone call with the recruiter.
3. Phone screen with the manager and a technical problem and a couple follow-ups. Nothing too hard but with follow-ups it took most of the time.
4. "On-site" with 1 culture interview, 1 product philosophy interview and 2 technicals.
5. Final "bar raiser" interview with behavioral questions
The technical questions were usually challenging but not super advanced algorithms. A good balance that lets you use your technical ability without having a "gotcha" about some specific data structure.
Each technical interview also set aside ~10-15 min for behavioral questions as well.
