Q & A with an automated system. Half of the questions 16 in total, required a camera. The others were typed. You are given a question and then given about 2-4 minutes to prepare your answer. The allowed response time varied between questions. None of the questions were particularly difficult or convoluted.

Interview
I applied for the position online. I was notified about a time sensitive online coding challenge two weeks later. The link to the challenge didn't arrive until the day before it was due. After the coding challenge, I was told I they would get back to me within a week. I didn't hear back from them for a month, which then I received contradictory messages congratulating me on making it to the final rounds of interview and informing me I had not been given an offer.
