I had a very casual one time call with a team lead as it was for a smaller contract position. They trust what you say and they seem to value looking for a cooperative back in forth instead of playing games.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked about some previous projects that were similar to the work they needed help with. And also just if experience lined up.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Art & Logic (Toronto, ON) in Dec 2024
Interview
They emailed with a challenge (2 parts). Part 1 must be submitted in a week. It can take up to few hours but as per them a skilled developer would take 1 hour or so. It requires brushing up some concepts you studies in school and may not have used recently in your job. When combined with that it eats up some time.

Question 1
It was about implementing an encoder (part 1) which required brushing up knowledge on bitwise operations as using string manipulation on the input was not the solution they required.
Total scam. Was given a series of time-consuming challenges which took several weeks between submissions and approvals. In the end I was told that no job was actually available, but I had earned the privilege of submitting my profile to their database and be interviewed when an actual position arose. Total waste of time.
